Amazon Customer: I used these for Wreath decorating they were a great value for the price and smell great! I don't know about cooking with them since I just used them for crafting.

Elizabeth J. NicodemusElizabeth J. Nicodemus: I got the 28oz bag of Saigon Cinnamon from Vietnam, and boy, was I in for a treat! This stuff is the holy grail of cinnamon for my cooking, heat/sweet/aroma! The order arrived super quick, on November 1, 2023, and it's got a good shelf life until May 2025.

The 28oz bag was short a 1/2 oz, but hey, close enough, right? I'm not here to nitpick on individual cinnamon sticks' lengths either, but they seemed to range from 2.75" to a solid 3". I'm just here for the flavor, and it did not disappoint.

Some sticks are thicker than others, and that's perfectly fine for me. I can pick and choose depending on my use at the moment. There were hardly any broken pieces, just a few crumbs, really. Grinding them up would be less than a teaspoon of powder.

And that aroma...oh my! It's like a siren's call for baking. I had to resist making cinnabuns right away and focused on sealing them up for later. Sure, there were a few sticks with a touch of discoloration, but it was all bark/knot related. No biggie.

Now, let's address the elephant in the room - those negative reviews. Turns out, they're talking about other products listed here, especially the "1 count (14oz)"...

LEL: This product doesn't have as great as an aroma as what I would expect for the price. Too expensive for what you get

Tracey Morettin: These are not proper cinnamon sticks. The look nothing like the pictures. Do not buy. The worst part is for some reason they are not returnable.

DoughBoy & EggGirl: Important Note: If you have only used the overpriced Spice Islands or similar 3 ounce bottles, you have been using Grade A cinnamon. This is NOT Grade A. It is commercial grade and very good commercial grade, but let me explain... . You know that cinnamon is a bark and cinnamon sticks are simply "curls" of bark shaved off the tree, right? Well, the innermost shavings are grade A, because they are very consistent in color, highly aromatic and very balanced in flavor. Outer shavings, which this bag will include, are less consistent in color (it IS a bark, after all) and, once dried, may be a bit mottled with dark and light areas that might give the impression of mold, but this is normal. Moldy cinnamon smells BAD, so use the sniff test if you need to. That said, I use this in making my small batch masala chai mix and the results could not be better. It was a better deal when the same price got me 2 lb. At 20 oz., I've lost a full third of the value, but I still don't see a better price on Amazon for whole bulk cinnamon.
