5cm Cut Cinnamon Bark

5cm Cut Cinnamon Bark is made from the inner bark of cinnamon trees. After carefully scraping off the outer layer, the bark is cut into short 5 cm segments, forming tube-shaped or naturally curled pieces with a deep reddish-brown color, a strong aroma, and a sweet-spicy flavor. This type of cinnamon is widely used in cooking, beverages, and even decorative crafts.

Common culinary applications include pho, braised beef (bo kho), curries, and soups, while it is also popular for cinnamon tea or as a fragrant decoration in cafés and homes.
