Ceylon Cinnamon Quills - Le Petit Lorien - 50g

Cinnamon is native to Ceylon, but in ancient times the Egyptians, who used it for embalming, believed that it grew according to secret rites, in a mysterious and distant land.

The "cinnamon quill" forms when the bark dries. It is first dried in the shade, then in the sun. It can be used whole or powdered for ease of use. In Europe and America, it is mainly used in pastry making, but in India, Sri Lanka or North Africa, it adds flavour to savoury dishes.

You can use it in the preparation of your pastries, your desserts (especially in combination with apple or chocolate), your rice dishes, meat (poultry and red meat), ... .
