Vanilla Beans
Excellent Product! Excellent Service!
I'm a convert
I've been making my own vanilla extract for over a decade and used to buy my beans based on reviews at a Infamous Global seller. Was never sure what I would get. Then I found this company! The beans were beautiful! Fragrant, moist but not too moist, easy to cut open to expose the seeds and each Bean was six to seven inches long. I'm a happy extract maker! 💝💃🥳
High Quality Vanilla - excellent customer service.

When to Use Saigon Cinnamon Instead of Ceylon Cinnamon
Is Saigon Cinnamon Cassia Cinnamon?
Facts About Our Saigon Cinnamon Powder
Saigon cinnamon packs a stronger punch than Ceylon cinnamon. The intensity in flavor makes it a great option for heavy dishes like stews, curries, and pho, the iconic Vietnamese noodle soup that traditionally relies on this same bold cinnamon for depth. Ceylon cinnamon is much more delicate in flavor and is well-suited for simple baked goods and other dishes with few ingredients. Saigon cinnamon does contain higher amounts of coumarin, so if you're looking to reduce your intake, opt for Ceylon cinnamon, which has the lowest coumarin content of all cinnamon varieties.
Yes. Saigon cinnamon is a type of Cassia cinnamon, but it's different from the Cassia found in most grocery stores, which is typically Chinese cinnamon. The oil concentration in Saigon cinnamon is higher, thanks to the optimal growing climate in Vietnam. This elevated volatile oil level brings a more potent flavor and aroma than the Chinese variety, which is exactly what makes Saigon cinnamon the more favorable choice for chefs across the world.
*Our Saigon cinnamon powder and quills have both been certified kosher by EarthKosher, a reputable kosher certification company, and are grown using natural, sustainable farming practices.

Perfect Pairings for Bold Baking and Beverages
Saigon cinnamon's bold, spicy character makes it a natural anchor for warm spice blends. Pair it with cloves, nutmeg, and star anise to build a homemade chai or mulling spice blend, or combine it with ginger for gingerbread, snickerdoodles, or spiced cookies where you want real heat to come through. In baking applications, its intensity also stands up beautifully against Madagascar vanilla, the classic pairing behind cinnamon rolls, spiced cakes, and holiday baking. Once opened, store your Saigon cinnamon powder in an airtight container away from heat and light to help preserve its volatile oils and bold flavor for as long as possible.
