How We Select Our Dalchini Kalmi Sticks
With over 20 years in the spice trade from Begum Bazar, Hyderabad, Dry Fruit Hub selects cinnamon bark for strong aroma and good thickness before packing it as Kalmi sticks — the thicker, more robust form of dalchini preferred in Indian cooking. Thin, brittle, or faded sticks are screened out. What goes into your 400g pack is selected to hold its aroma through slow cooking, and to grind cleanly when making masala powders.

⚠️ Usage Note
This product is Cassia-type cinnamon, which naturally contains coumarin, a compound that may affect the liver if consumed in very large quantities over time. Normal culinary use in cooking, chai, and spice blends is generally considered safe. People with liver conditions, those on blood-thinning medication, or pregnant women should use cinnamon in moderate culinary quantities and consult their doctor if consuming larger amounts regularly. This product is a culinary spice — not a supplement, not a treatment for any condition, and not a substitute for medical advice.
