What is a cinnamon stick?

Answer 1

The bark of the cinnamon tree can either be dried and ground up, which is the way most people cook with it, or it can be cut into small strips which will roll up kind of cigaretts shape as it dries. This stick has all the flavor of ground cinnamon, and it can be added to hot chocolate, or pudding, or many other things to give a flavorful burst of cinnamon.
