{"product_id":"dried-cinnamon-pieces-cinnamomum-cassia-bulk","title":"Cinnamon Pieces (Cinnamomum cassia) - Bulk","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n  Cinnamon Pieces are whole bark pieces of Cinnamomum cassia used to infuse a warm, sweet-woody spice note into drinks\n  and cooking. They are ideal for slow simmering in mulled beverages, chai-style brews, syrups, and long-cooked dishes\n  where the spice can be removed before serving. The larger pieces infuse gradually for a clean, balanced flavour\n  without the cloudiness of powders. They also work well as a natural scent accent in potpourri and festive craft\n  projects.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBotanical Name: Cinnamomum cassia\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlant Part: Bark\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eForm: Whole pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAroma Profile: Warm, sweet-woody, spicy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSize Options: 500g or 1kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStorage: Store sealed in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIngredients: Cinnamon pieces (Cinnamomum cassia)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat It’s Used For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is commonly used to:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSimmer into chai-style teas, mulled drinks, and winter warmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInfuse syrups, custards, and milk-based drinks, then strain out\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdd depth to slow-cooked stews, curries, and marinades\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSnap and grind small pieces fresh for spice blends and rubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdd natural aroma to potpourri, sachets, and festive crafts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWho It’s For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is suitable for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlow infusions and simmered drinks where whole spice is removed before serving\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCooking projects that benefit from gradual, clean flavour release\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHome fragrance and craft use with natural botanicals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is not for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAnyone looking for an instant cinnamon powder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThose who prefer very mild spice with minimal aroma\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePeople wanting a pre-mixed chai blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow To Use\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAs a Tea: Simmer 1 to 2 large pieces in 2 cups water for 10 to 15 minutes, strain and sweeten to taste.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAs a Cooking Infusion: Add a whole piece during simmering, then remove before serving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAs a Fresh Grind: Snap a small piece and mill as needed for blends and rubs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    Processing Tip: Culinary use in small amounts is typical, keep total daily intake of ground cinnamon to about 4g.\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSafety Instructions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIf pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before frequent use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConsult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use if you take blood-thinning medication.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not exceed suggested culinary amounts and discontinue use if any sensitivity occurs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKeep out of reach of children and pets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Q: Can the pieces be reused for a second simmer?\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n  A: Yes, but the second infusion will be noticeably lighter in aroma and flavour.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Q: Why choose pieces instead of powder?\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n  A: Pieces infuse cleanly and are removed after simmering, which helps avoid sediment and overly strong spice notes.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Q: Do cinnamon pieces work in cold infusions?\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n  A: They can, but most people prefer simmering for fuller aroma and flavour.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Natural Products - Bulk","offers":[{"title":"500g","offer_id":41311227314344,"sku":"EN-N-2857","price":375.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":41311227347112,"sku":"EN-N-2856","price":719.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0081\/3111\/7152\/files\/CinnamonPiecesLoose.jpg?v=1768382245","url":"https:\/\/essentiallynatural.co.za\/products\/dried-cinnamon-pieces-cinnamomum-cassia-bulk","provider":"Essentially Natural","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
