Facts about our Saigon Cinnamon Powder
Saigon cinnamon packs a stronger punch than Ceylon cinnamon. The intensity in flavor makes it a great option for heavy dishes like stews and curries. Ceylon cinnamon is much more delicate in flavor and is well-suited for simple baked goods and other dishes with few ingredients. Saigon cinnamon does contain higher amounts of coumarin, so if you are looking to reduce your intake, opt for Ceylon, which has the lowest coumarin content of all cinnamon varieties.
Yes. Saigon cinnamon is a type of Cassia cinnamon, but it is different than the Cassia cinnamon found in most grocery stores. The most common cinnamon is Chinese cinnamon. The oil concentration in Saigon is much higher, though, due to the optimal growing climate in Vietnam. The higher level of volatile oils brings forth a much more potent flavor and aroma than the Chinese variety. It's these oils that make Saigon cinnamon the more favorable variety for chefs across the world.

Disappointing
Not as good as I had expected. The Saigon cinnamon I received from SloGoodGroup seems excessively dry and I had to be careful with how I breathed while I put it in a shaker container--a normal exhale made the cinnamon go up in a cloud! Not as fragrant as I had expected, either.

I’m sorry I haven’t used it yet!! But the buying experience from you was very favorable
The best cinnamon.
I always purchase my cinnamon from Slofoodgroup. I know the cinnamon is the freshest. I feel it hasn’t sat on a grocery store shelf for a long time. I feel I get the best for my money.
