I recently purchased some Ceylon cinnamon sticks and want to know how to store them properly so that they retain their flavor and freshness for as long as possible. I have read that improper storage can cause them to lose their health benefits and flavor. What tips and proven methods do you have for storing Ceylon cinnamon? Do you use special containers or are there other effective ways? I'd love to hear your recommendations!

First, store your sticks in an airtight glass container to prevent air and moisture from entering with Ceylon cinnamon sticks. I keep my container in a dark cool place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources like kitchen cabinets another good way is vacuum bags if you have a vacuum packer. This is especially helpful if you buy cinnamon in large quantities and want to store it longer. It's also important to avoid sudden temperature changes, as this can affect the quality of the cinnamon. If you need to use the sticks regularly, you can keep a small amount in your kitchen for convenience and keep the rest of your stock in a more stable environment.
