1. Introduction: The Versatility of Round Cut Cassia
Round cut cassia has evolved into one of the most preferred formats for global buyers serving the food, beverage, and health sectors. Thanks to its clean cut, standard sizing, and potent aroma, it’s increasingly demanded by R&D teams, exporters, and formulation specialists.
Below are 10 proven reasons why this format continues to dominate the global cinnamon supply chain.
2. Reason #1: Superior Aroma Profile for Culinary Use
With volatile oil content often above 2.5%, round cut cassia adds deep flavor and warm spice notes to:
- Curries and broths
- Confectionery and baked goods
- Sauces and marinades
Its essential oil profile, dominated by cinnamaldehyde, is a key sensory and functional advantage.
3. Reason #2: Even Size & Thickness for Consistent Flavor Release
Round cut pieces are machine-sliced to 2–4 cm or 3–6 cm with uniform thickness (~0.4 cm), enabling:
- Predictable flavor extraction
- Even steeping in hot or cold processes
- Batch-level dosage accuracy

4. Reason #3: Safe, Visual Ingredient for Transparent Labeling
Today’s consumers want traceable, visible ingredients. Round cut cassia:
- Can be seen clearly in herbal teas or sachets
- Looks authentic in clean-label spice blends
- Enhances brand credibility in wellness formats
5. Reason #4: Long Shelf Life for Global Supply Chains
With low moisture (10–12%) and intact bark form, this format offers:
- 18–24 months shelf life
- Minimal oxidation or aroma loss
- Safe transport even under long-haul conditions
Perfect for export, warehousing, and retail packaging.
6. Reason #5: Low Dust Content Supports Pharmaceutical Applications
Unlike ground cinnamon, round cut cassia:
- Contains negligible bark powder
- Requires no filtration
- Reduces contamination in extract manufacturing
Ideal for:
- Capsule production
- Cinnamon-based supplements
- Medicinal decoctions
7. Reason #6: Highly Infusible for Herbal & Functional Teas
Round cuts allow gradual oil release:
- Flavor doesn’t spike or become bitter
- Extraction time is controllable
- Excellent in teabags, cold infusions, and health brews
