Whole cinnamon, also known as dar cheeni, is the bark of a tree from the Cinnamomum family. It is harvested from the tree, dried, and sold in whole form rather than ground into a powder. Whole cinnamon sticks have a stronger, more potent flavour than ground cinnamon and can infuse dishes and drinks with a distinct cinnamon flavour. They are used in sweet and savoury dishes in many cuisines worldwide. The bark can be used in its whole form or ground into a powder before use. Whole cinnamon sticks can also be used as a natural air freshener.
