Cinnamon (Dalchini): Quills, Bark & Powder

Specifying cinnamon by quill length, oil content and mesh — for bakery, beverage and extraction buyers.

Aromatic Bark

Cinnamon's sweet, woody warmth comes from its volatile oil. Quills (rolled bark) preserve aroma best and are graded by length and appearance.

Quality Parameters

Volatile oil content, coumarin levels and moisture are key. Buyers in some markets specifically request lower-coumarin profiles for regulatory reasons.

Sticks vs Powder

Sticks suit beverage, mulling and retail; powder is supplied at agreed mesh for bakery and seasoning. Steam sterilisation is available for sensitive markets.

Packing & MOQ

Cartons for quills, 25 kg bags for powder; MOQ from 2 MT.
