McCormick Cinnamon Sticks, 8oz 226g
McCormick Cinnamon Sticks come from the bark of a small tropical evergreen tree native to the tropics including Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka, Java, Egypt, West Indies, Madagascar, and Brazil. The tree grows to a height of 30 to 45 feet.
McCormick Cinnamon Sticks are made from the bark of mature tropical evergreen trees, typically harvested after 15 years of growth to develop their rich flavor. As the bark dries, it curls naturally into the familiar quills or sticks used in cooking and beverages.
Use Cinnamon Sticks as stirrer in coffee, teas and other hot drinks such as spiced apple cider. Cinnamon Sticks are also used to season Asian soups, stews, chili, and as a dessert topping.

McCormick Cinnamon Sticks, 8oz 226g - FAQ
- Q: What are McCormick Cinnamon Sticks made from?
- A: McCormick Cinnamon Sticks are made from the inner bark of the tropical evergreen tree Cinnamomum cassia (also called “true cinnamon”). The bark is harvested from 15-year-old sprouts, then dried into the familiar curled sticks.
- Q: Are McCormick Cinnamon Sticks the same as ground cinnamon?
- A: Ground cinnamon is made by grinding whole cinnamon sticks into powder. Sticks offer longer shelf life and slower flavor release, making them ideal for infusing drinks or slow-cooked dishes.
- Q: What’s the difference between McCormick Culinary Cinnamon Sticks and McCormick Gourmet Cinnamon Sticks?
- A: McCormick Gourmet Cinnamon Sticks are mostly longer, usually 5-6 inches, while McCormick Culinary Cinnamon Sticks are shorter, about 4 inches in length.
- Q: Where does McCormick source its cinnamon sticks?
- A: Cinnamon sticks are sourced from tropical regions mostly in Indonesia. McCormick selects sticks with a rich, warm aroma and consistent flavor.
- Q: How are cinnamon sticks used in cooking?
- A: Cinnamon sticks are often used as stirrers in hot beverages like tea, cider, and mulled wine. They’re also added to stews, chilis, curries, and desserts to infuse warmth and subtle spice.
- Q: How should I store cinnamon sticks?
- A: Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. When properly stored, cinnamon sticks can retain their full flavor for up to two years. Let your nose be the guide—fresh cinnamon should have a warm, sweet, rich aroma reminiscent of a cinnamon cookie.
- Q: Are McCormick Cinnamon Sticks Non-GMO and Kosher?
- A: Yes. They are Non-GMO and OU Certified Kosher.
- Q: How do cinnamon sticks compare to McCormick Ground Cinnamon?
- A: Cinnamon sticks provide a slower, more subtle flavor release and are ideal for infusing liquids. Ground cinnamon offers immediate flavor and is better for baking and dry spice blends. For quick reference, see our McCormick Ground Cinnamon page.
- Q: Can cinnamon sticks be reused?
- A: Sometimes. If gently simmered (not boiled) and quickly rinsed and dried, a cinnamon stick may be reused once or twice, though the flavor weakens each time — but never with meats.
