Description
Organic ground cinnamon cassia — the bold, warming everyday cinnamon, finely milled and ready to bake with.
Cassia is made from the dried inner bark of evergreen trees grown across Asia. Darker and redder than Ceylon, it brings a robust, warm-sweet flavour and a pungent aroma that stands up to long cooking and big bakes. It is the more affordable workhorse of the two cinnamons; note that cassia is naturally higher in coumarin than Ceylon, so heavy daily users often choose Ceylon instead. Certified organic.
Best for
- Cinnamon buns, swirls and robust bakes
- Curries, tagines and slow-cooked savoury dishes
- Mulled drinks, spiced lattes and hot chocolate
- Pancakes, French toast and crumbles
FAQ
What is the difference between cassia and Ceylon cinnamon? Cassia is bolder, hotter and cheaper; Ceylon (Cinnamomum verum) is delicate, citrusy-sweet and naturally very low in coumarin — the usual pick for those who use cinnamon every day. Try our Organic Ceylon Cinnamon Powder (True).
Ground or sticks? Ground cassia is best for baking and stirring in; for infusing mulled wine, curries and rice, use Organic Cinnamon Cassia Sticks.
