Organic Vietnamese cinnamon, Cinnamomum loureiroi, is also known as Saigon cinnamon or Vietnamese cassia. In Vietnam, it is called "que" (pronounced kway). Vietnamese cinnamon is considered by most cinnamon and cassia aficionados to be the most aromatic of all the cinnamons. The cinnamon oil content of our Vietnamese Cinnamon Powder is very high at 4%-6%, which makes the flavor outstanding and leads many bakers and chefs to call this particular variety 'the best cinnamon you can get'.

Vietnamese Cinnamon works well in combination with fruits like apples, apricots, blueberries, cherries and oranges and vegetables - especially carrots, onions and spinach. Cinnamon combines well with other spices such as allspice, black pepper, cardamom, cloves, ginger and nutmeg. Vietnamese cinnamon is traditionally used in a North Vietnamese beef soup called Pho Bo (pronounced fuh ba). Pho is not in reference to the soup, but actually to the noodles - long, flat rice noodles. There are two types of Pho soup - Pho Bo, which is made with beef broth, and Pho Ga (pronounced fuh gaa), made with chicken broth. Only the Pho Bo soup calls for Vietnamese cinnamon. If you're in Vietnam and just ask for Pho you will typically get Pho Bo. Pho is a hearty dish and usually eaten for breakfast.
