Saigon Sticks, 200g Jar (Cassia quills, Cinnamon like flavour)

Saigon Cinnamon is known for its thick quills and bold, warming sweetness, delivering deep flavour through its naturally high essential oil content.

• Why Saigon Stands Apart: Saigon sticks come from the Cinnamomum loureiroi tree, prized for its thicker inner bark that naturally dries into dense, aromatic quills. These deep reddish-brown, often double-layered quills are rich in essential oils, delivering Saigon stick’s bold aroma and pronounced warmth.
• A Spice with Character: Saigon delivers a rich, sweet aroma with pronounced warmth and depth. It forms thick, rugged, multi-layered quills. It carries naturally higher coumarin levels, giving it a bold, full-bodied presence and a lingering sweet-spicy finish in both sweet and savoury cooking.
• Saigon in the Kitchen: Known for their bold, robust profile and sweet-spicy aroma, Saigon sticks are most often used to bring depth and warmth to curries and broths, including iconic dishes like Vietnamese phở. It also infuses teas and hot beverages with a fragrant, warming note, and elevates spiced baked goods and desserts when ground into powder or added to spice blends.
• A Little Goes a Long Way: Saigon stick's bold, sweet-spicy flavour delivers warmth and depth, supporting healthy blood sugar, antioxidants, and mild anti-inflammatory effects. Use sparingly—its intense aroma and high coumarin content mean a small pinch is enough to bring flavour and wellness to both sweet and savoury dishes.
