cinnamon sticks

Rolled bark spice

Cinnamon sticks are rolled pieces of dried bark from the cinnamon tree, used as a spice.

The bark curls into a tube shape as it dries.

Cinnamon sticks flavor drinks and dishes during cooking—mulled wine with a cinnamon stick—and are removed before serving, unlike ground cinnamon which dissolves into food.
