Vietnam Spices: Square Cut and Round Cut Cassia Cinnamon

For a long time, Vietnam has been a major producer of cassia cinnamon. The cassia tree is valuable, and producers don’t want to waste any part of the tree. Therefore, there are many cassia cinnamon products, which include cut cassia. There are 2 popular forms of cut cassia: square cut and round cut cassia. Let’s explore more about cut cassia cinnamon products from Vietnam in the following post!

1. How to process high-quality Vietnam Cassia

Step 1 – Harvesting: The cassia cinnamon tree is ready for harvesting 8-10 years after planting, however, 15 years is ideal for the best quality. Farmers will cut off branches and fall the entire tree. Farmers typically harvest cinnamon twice a year, right after the rainy season, as humidity causes the bark to peel off more easily.

Step 2 – Processing: Manual processing can account for up to 60% of the total cost of cinnamon production. Using a sharp knife, skilled workers peel the rough outer bark away to reveal the soft inner bark inside. Different final products will require additional steps during the cinnamon production process.

Step 3—Drying: The removed barks are known as quills. These parts will be dried in the shade for four to five days to prevent them from losing shape. Later, producers will let them be exposed to sunlight until completely dry.

Step 4 – Grading: Inside factories, workers grade cinnamon based on its thickness, appearance, and essential oil content.

Step 5 – Cutting & Grinding: Cut cinnamon bark to appropriate lengths for different types. For example, tube cinnamon measures 30 to 45 centimeters long, whereas cigarette cinnamon measures only 8 to 10 centimeters. Producers also cut cassia into round and square shapes. In cases where the final product is powder form, they will grind the bark into a fine powder.

There are many kinds of cassia such as whole tube, split, stick, cigarette, broken, pressed, round cut, square cut…

Step 6 – Packing: Pack cinnamon quills in moisture-proof bags or carton boxes to prevent breakage.

2. What is Cut Cassia Cinnamon?

There are 2 popular forms of cut cassia: round cut and square cut.

From whole tube cassia, producers make them into round cut cassia. Round cut cassia is a type of cinnamon cut into small, round pieces, typically about 3-5 cm in diameter.
