Cinnamon (Saigon cinnamon), cut

Saigon cinnamon, also known as Vietnamese cinnamon or cassia, is a highly aromatic spice native to Southeast Asia. It has a bold, sweet flavour with a strong cinnamon scent, thanks to its high essential oil content. Closely related to cassia cinnamon, it is prized for its intense taste and is often used in baking, cooking, and beverages. Saigon cinnamon naturally contains coumarin, a compound found in some cinnamon varieties. With its rich flavour and warm aroma, this cinnamon variety is a favourite for adding depth to both sweet and savoury dishes.
