Premium Split Cassia Cinnamon – The Authentic Spice from Nature

What Is Split Cassia Cinnamon?

Split Cassia Cinnamon is a premium-grade cinnamon variety, widely known for its bold flavor, deep aroma, and characteristic thick bark. Unlike the more delicate Ceylon cinnamon, cassia has a stronger, spicier taste, making it ideal for cooking, baking, and traditional remedies.

This type of cinnamon is called “split” because the sticks are cracked open or halved, allowing the inner surface to dry faster and preserve more essential oil. The result is a richly aromatic spice with a distinctive reddish-brown hue and a hard texture.

Origin and Processing

Most cassia comes from mature Cinnamomum cassia trees, primarily grown in highland regions of Vietnam, Indonesia, and China. The bark is harvested by hand during the dry season, then sun-dried naturally.

Once the outer bark is removed, the inner bark is carefully split to ensure uniform drying. This traditional method helps retain the bark’s essential oils, mainly cinnamaldehyde, which give cassia its signature fragrance and health benefits.

Key Features of Split Cassia Cinnamon

Strong aroma thanks to high oil content which can reach up to five percent of essential oil

Robust flavor that is pungent and slightly sweet, suitable for both food and medicinal uses

Naturally dried without chemical additives or artificial preservatives

Hard woody texture with thick curls or flattened shapes when split

Long shelf life that can extend to two or even three years under proper storage

Culinary Uses of Split Cassia Cinnamon

Split cassia is widely used in both sweet and savory recipes. It adds warm depth to stews, curries, soups, and broths. In baking, it enhances cakes, cookies, and pastries. Its powerful aroma also makes it a favorite in mulled wine and chai tea blends.

For best results, simmer the split sticks slowly to release their full flavor. You can also grind them into powder using a spice grinder if needed.

Health Benefits

Aside from its culinary value, split cassia has long been prized in traditional medicine. Studies show it contains powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.

Some potential benefits include supporting blood sugar control, reducing cholesterol levels, improving digestion, fighting bacterial infections, and boosting circulation and immunity

However, due to its higher coumarin content, cassia cinnamon should be consumed in moderation

Why Choose Split Cassia Cinnamon Over Other Forms?

There are several types of cinnamon on the market, including whole sticks, broken chips, and powder. Split bark offers a unique advantage because it retains the highest concentration of oils while drying evenly and reducing mold risks

Its flat surface also makes it easier to grind, store, and brew. This form is especially preferred by bulk buyers, herbal tea producers, and spice importers who value consistency and efficiency

How to Store It Properly

To preserve freshness, keep your split cassia cinnamon in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Airtight packaging, especially vacuum-sealed, will help lock in its aroma and quality
