Sonnentor cinnamon sticks (Ceylon variety) in detail

The stuff of 1001 fairy tales. For a long time, Arab traders kept the origin of the precious cinnamon sticks a secret. Today we know that the spice is extracted from the bark of trees. Apple compote, mulled wine, punch and liqueur are all flavoured with cinnamon. But savoury dishes such as red cabbage and venison are also a big hit. More than just a spicy decoration.

How much cinnamon is a pleasure for each individual consumer or how much cinnamon each baker or cook actually uses is up to them.

Internationally recognised chemists and food technologists comment on this discussion: "Herbs and spices, like all plants, contain a variety of chemical compounds, some of which, when isolated and administered in unrealistically high doses, can cause health problems. In the totality of all substances of a plant, however, such effects are often quite different and can also cancel each other out."
