Saigon Cracked Cassia Cinnamon

I bought these cinnamon pieces to use as a component of my Thanksgiving turkey brine mixture -- and they were a great addition. Measuring out a portion of pieces was easy compared to breaking up stick cinnamon. They added a lovely fragrance to the mix. When I make chili I'll just toss in a little bit and grind it with other whole spices to create a balanced flavor.
And I love the "free shipping on flat packs" option!

I use these when I brew coffee for my husband. He is a diabetic and cinnamon is good for him. I started to use the cracked pieces years ago after a visit to The Spice House. I had been using ground cinnamon but I was telling the clerk at the Spice House that I disliked the film it made on top of the coffee. She suggested the use of the cracked cinnamon because it wouldn't leave the film on the coffee. I am grateful for her help.

These are perfect in my coffee- I add few chunks to the grinder, and brew away! Truly sublime

I had never heard of cracked cinnamon & ordered it in error. The taste is wonderful but have had trouble grinding it fine enough using an electric coffee grinder.

I ordered this spice not realizing it said "cracked". I have no comment except to say I cannot use it.
