- Native to Vietnam and still grown there exclusively, this cassia is thought by many to be the best.
- Cassia is what we here in the States know as cinnamon.
- But in reality, “true” cinnamon is the bark of an actual cinnamon tree, whereas what we know as cinnamon is the bark of a cassia tree.
- We grind Saigon in small batches weekly to ensure freshness.
- The unmatched flavor of Vietnamese Saigon cassia is stronger and sweeter than your best store bought cinnamon.
- The bark is thicker and darker than Indonesian cassia, producing a rich dark brown cinnamon.
- This cinnamon is great for baking, savories and flavoring for drinks.
