Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles Can you eat cinnamon sticks directly? Yes, you can eat cinnamon sticks, but they are primarily used to infuse flavor into dishes and beverages rather than being consumed whole. Additionally, cinnamon sticks come from the dried inner bark of Cinnamomum trees. Their dry, woody texture makes them difficult to chew or swallow, potentially causing choking, obstructed breathing, and irritation to the mouth and throat. When used in cooking or brewing, they slowly release a warm, spicy flavor into the food or drink. Instead of being eaten directly, cinnamon sticks are often added to teas, mulled wine, hot cider, and various stewed dishes, where they impart their flavor during the cooking process and are removed before serving.
