Description

Vietnamese Cassia "Saigon" Cinnamon The overall flavor of the Vietnamese cinnamon is similar to the Chinese Tung Hing cassia cinnamon, but the oil content of the Saigon variety is higher and it is much more powerful. Saigon Cinnamon is produced primarily in Vietnam, both for domestic use and export. The Vietnam War disrupted production, but since the beginning of the early 21st century Vietnam has resumed export of the spice, including to the United States, where it was unavailable for nearly 20 years. Although it is called Saigon Cinnamon, it is not produced in the area around the southern city of Saigon, but instead in the central and northern regions of the country, particularly the Qu?ng Nam Province of central Vietnam. Saigon Cinnamon is used primarily for its aromatic bark, which is quite similar to that of Cassia but with a more pronounced, complex aroma.
