Saigon Vietnamese Cinnamon Whole

Love It

I previously had been buying Saigon Vietnamese Cinnamon already ground. It's pretty good. After thinking, "If my coffee is better when I grind my own, why not try grinding my own cinnamon?" Since I already have a Vitamix blender, I tried it. Big difference! It's hotter and sweeter - just the way I like it. Being diabetic and having a sweet tooth, I have to be creative. I put the cinnamon on frozen bananas and in my homemade "cereal" with chia seeds & fruit. It's tastier than sweetening with sugar. I read about preserving spices longer by storing it in a glass jar instead of plastic.

Quality

Since I bought this product for the first time it’s quality has change to lower quality is not spice and taste has diminished not strong as is use to be

I did not have good understanding of "whole"

I understand powdered and rolled stick form but "whole" I didn't understand. User error on my part. What I received was what I would describe as chips or flakes. I'm at the end of my rolled sticks so the next brew of Jamaica will use the "whole".
