Production & Sourcing
Ground Saigon cinnamon is made by grinding the dried inner bark of Cinnamomum loureiroi trees, native to Southeast Asia, particularly Vietnam. The process begins with harvesting mature cinnamon tree branches, where the bark is carefully removed by hand. The harvested bark is then allowed to dry in the sun until it becomes brittle. Once dried, the bark is ground into a fine powder using industrial grinding equipment, resulting in ground Saigon cinnamon.
