Learn More »Mexican Cinnamon sticks are actually Ceylon Cinnamon sticks imported almost exclusively from the Island of Sri Lanka. Mexico does not grow Cinnamon. Soft and easily to crumble or grind. it is known as Canela in Mexico. A subtle sophisticated taste that never overpowers a recipe and adds to depth of flavor. Mexican Cinnamon or Ceylon Cinnamon is very fragrant and the only Cinnamon that should be used in all traditional Mexican recipes. Mexicans who immigrated to the United States forget this distinction and start using far inferior and very different Cassia Cinnamon which is what is available in the United States. And they wonder why the recipe is not quite the same as back at home. It never strikes them, it is the type of Cinnamon they used. Many US Mexican stores sell Cassia Cinnamon because of the difficulty of getting real Mexican Cinnamon. If you see Cinnamon sticks at a Mexican store don't automatically assume it is real Mexican Cinnamon, which is soft and fragile and not hard and brittle like Cassia Cinnamon is. The taste profile , the aroma and color of Mexican or Ceylon Cinnamon is very different and substituting Cassia Cinnamon for Mexican cinnamon will give you very different results. Hard to believe but true. The Mexican name for Cinnamon is Canela. The vast bulk of Cinnamon that Mexico consumes (96%) is imported Ceylon Cinnamon. Ceylon Cinnamon or to give its proper scientific name Cinnamomum Zeylanicum, comes from the tiny Island of Sri Lanka located on the southern tip of India. According to the UN COMTRADE figures, in 2011 Mexico imported US$65 million worth of Ceylon Cinnamon out of which $63 Million was Ceylon Cinnamon. That means per capita consumption of Cinnamon in Mexico, especially Ceylon Cinnamon is the highest in the World. This tradition of Ceylon Cinnamon consumption and switching to cheap soda maybe why Mexican type 2 diabetes rates has exploded. The answer may lie in getting back to cinnamon consumption and reducing their huge sugar consumption levels. Mexico inherited this Ceylon Cinnamon tradition from Spain which brought a variety of spices from the orient including Ceylon Cinnamon. With this they created multi layered flavors, where Cinnamon is an essential flavor but never takes center stage. Mexican Cinnamon sticks are sweet, mild and has a more complex flavor compared to the common Cassia Cinnamon found in the USA. They are made with soft layers of Cinnamon bark from the Cinnamon tree, rolled like a cigar and light brown in color. Cassia Cinnamon is a darker brown color and very hard. Mexican cinnamon is delicate and fragile and easy to break apart. Often a bit of the stick is broken and added to many Mexican recipes. Other times it's ground into a fine powder for more complex recipes like Mole.
