Also known as Saigon cinnamon, Vietnamese cinnamon is a type of cassia cinnamon prized for its bold, spicy-sweet flavor and intense aroma. Grown in the lush forests of Vietnam, it has a higher oil content than other types of cinnamon, giving it a stronger, more complex taste with notes of pepper and clove. This makes it perfect for dishes that benefit from a robust cinnamon flavor, like curries, stews, or spiced beverages. Unlike Ceylon cinnamon, which is milder and sweeter, Vietnamese cinnamon has a deeper color, a coarser texture, and a higher concentration of coumarin, which contributes to its distinctive, warming kick.This cinnamon is the strongest, richest cinnamon. With a 4 % oil content you will need less cinnamon compared to common cinnamon.
