Cinnamon Powder
Bold, warm and sweet-spicy cassia cinnamon from Vietnam for baking, curries, drinks and everyday cooking.
SpiceBloom Cinnamon Powder is made from Vietnamese cassia, a style of cinnamon valued for its strong aroma and full-bodied flavour. It brings noticeable sweetness, warming spice and a subtle clove-like sharpness to both sweet and savoury recipes.
Compared with milder Ceylon cinnamon, cassia delivers a more direct cinnamon flavour. That makes it especially useful in recipes where the spice needs to remain noticeable alongside chocolate, fruit, coffee, tomato, roasted vegetables or rich sauces.
Use it in cakes, biscuits, buns and fruit desserts, or add a carefully measured amount to curries, soups, marinades, chai and spice blends.
Why Choose Vietnamese Cassia Cinnamon?
Its main advantage is intensity: a warm, familiar cinnamon profile that remains noticeable throughout cooking and baking.
Bold Cinnamon Aroma
Strong, sweet-spicy fragrance gives cakes, buns, biscuits and fruit desserts a clear cinnamon character.
Useful in Savoury Food
A small amount adds warmth and depth to curries, soups, rice dishes, marinades and slow-cooked recipes.
Easy to Add to Drinks
Blend or sprinkle into chai, coffee, smoothies and hot chocolate for a warming aromatic finish.
Cassia Cinnamon: Stronger, Warmer and More Direct
Cassia and Ceylon are both sold as cinnamon, but they offer noticeably different flavour experiences. Vietnamese cassia is stronger, hotter and more intensely aromatic.
Ceylon cinnamon is generally milder, sweeter and more delicate, while cassia is often preferred when a recipe calls for the familiar bold cinnamon taste found in buns, cookies, pies and warming spice blends.
The deeper flavour also makes cassia useful in savoury recipes, where a small amount can stand up to tomatoes, onions, chilli, roasted vegetables and rich sauces.
