Cassia Cinnamon Stick – A Bold Spice with Timeless Flavor
What Is Cassia Cinnamon Stick?
Cassia Cinnamon Stick is a popular spice made from the bark of the Cinnamomum cassia tree. Known for its thicker bark, strong aroma, and deep reddish-brown color, it’s widely used in cooking, herbal teas, and natural health remedies.
Unlike Ceylon cinnamon, cassia has a sharper taste and higher oil content. These characteristics make it ideal for infusing bold flavor into both sweet and savory dishes.
Where It Comes From
Our cassia sticks are sourced from the highland regions of Vietnam, where the cool climate and fertile soil help produce bark with high essential oil content. Harvested by skilled farmers, the bark is sun-dried and naturally curled into sticks.
Each stick is carefully selected to meet export standards, with uniform thickness, clean surface, and rich aroma.
Key Characteristics of Cassia Cinnamon Stick
- Rich, spicy aroma with high cinnamaldehyde content
- Thick and hard bark, curled naturally during drying
- Deep reddish-brown color and clean surface
- Naturally sun-dried, no sulfur or artificial additives
- Long shelf life, ideal for storage and international shipping
These features make cassia cinnamon stick a favorite in food processing, tea blending, essential oil extraction, and home kitchens worldwide.
Culinary Applications
Cassia cinnamon sticks are widely used in both sweet and savory recipes. They add warmth to stews, curries, braised meats, and rice dishes. In desserts, they enrich flavor in baked goods, puddings, and syrups.
They’re also used in drinks like mulled wine, cider, and masala chai. To extract maximum flavor, simmer the stick slowly or steep it in hot liquid for several minutes.
Health and Wellness Benefits
Cassia Stick is not only a flavorful spice but also a traditional remedy. It contains antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and natural oils that support well-being.
Common health benefits include:
- Regulating blood sugar levels
- Improving digestion
- Supporting heart health
- Reducing inflammation
- Combating bacterial infections
Though highly beneficial, cassia cinnamon should be consumed in moderation due to its coumarin content.
Why Choose Cassia Cinnamon Stick?
There are many cinnamon products on the market—powdered, chipped, or split. Whole sticks offer a clean, long-lasting, and versatile option for both consumers and manufacturers.
Cassia sticks maintain full oil content, are less prone to contamination, and offer better aroma retention. They’re preferred for slow cooking, tea brewing, and even decorative purposes due to their curled shape.
Storage and Handling
To maintain freshness, store your cassia cinnamon sticks in an airtight container, away from heat and moisture. Proper storage helps preserve aroma and extends shelf life for up to two years.
