Also Known As: Ceylon Cinnamon Chips, True Cinnamon Chips, Cinnamomum verum Bark Chips, Ceylon Dalchini Chips
Part Used: Dried inner bark of Cinnamomum verum
Description: Cinnamon Chips Ceylon are prepared from the inner bark of Cinnamomum verum, commonly referred to as Ceylon cinnamon. This evergreen tree is native to Sri Lanka and cultivated in select tropical regions where growing conditions support consistent bark quality. The inner bark is harvested from mature branches once it has developed its characteristic thin structure and smooth surface.
After harvesting, the bark is carefully cleaned and dried using controlled air-drying methods to reduce moisture while preserving its natural colour, texture, and layered structure. Once fully dried, the bark is cut into small, irregular chip-sized pieces. This processing method maintains the natural botanical character of the bark while producing evenly sized fragments suitable for a wide range of applications.
The finished chips display a light to medium brown colour with visible layered edges and a firm, woody texture. The cut format provides increased surface area while retaining the natural appearance of the bark. Cinnamon Chips Ceylon are dry, stable, and uniform in size, supporting consistent handling, storage, and presentation.
Uses: Cinnamon Chips Ceylon are used in culinary preparations such as beverages, desserts, sauces, baked goods, and spice blends where smaller bark pieces are preferred. They are commonly used in infusion-style applications, simmered liquids, and flavouring preparations that benefit from evenly sized cinnamon fragments. The chips are also suitable for decorative spice displays, potpourri-style blends, botanical craft projects, and educational kits that feature natural bark materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
