I tested out the three different 'cinnamons' from my favorite spice company.
(Left) Korintje Cassia Cinnamon - Scientific name: Cinnamomum burmannii
- Industry standard for bakers, chefs and home cooks
- Similar to red hot cinnamon candies
- from Indonesia
(Center) Vietnamese Saigon Cassia Cinnamon - Scientific name: Cinnamomum loureiroi
- This is the one I already had in my cupboard as you can tell my the use of the jar
- Typical but better of the kind you buy in the grocery store
- from Vietnam
(Right) Ceylon Cinnamon - Scientific name: Cinnamomum verum
- 'Real' cinnamon
- This variety is used heavily in Mexican hot chocolate, rice pudding and atloe
- from Ski Lanka
First half bite of each and Ceylon was off the table right away, too strong of a flavor and I lost the apple in it. The other two were in the running together at this point however the center one won out just slightly. It let the sweetness of the apple from forward without overpowering.
French toast test in the future!
