CINNAMMON (CASSIA) STICKS
(Cinnamomum loureiroi)
Vietnamese (Saigon) Cassia Cinnamon is the thickest single layer bark, harvested from the
evergreen tree native to forested Central & northern Highlands of Vietnam.
It has a pungent fragrance, much stronger than the other cassia cinnamon, and has an intense spicy- sweetness without a hint of bitterness.
Highly prized among the Chef’s.
It has 4-5% (highest) cinnamon oil content.
Suggested Uses:
Used in dishes that have a more complex flavor. It adds a sweet flavor to a variety
of baking breads, cakes and cookies. Also adds richly sweet flavor to savory dishes.
Use whole or grind the sticks as needed.
To grind: break the sticks and grind in a manual or automatic coffee grinder, until
powdered.
Health Benefits:
Cassia Cinnamon is used as a digestive, carminative and stimulant tonic. Coumarin is a toxic compound significantly found in Cassia, which has a negative impact on the liver and kidney. Use it sparingly or as per your healthcare professional.
