Warming Cassia Cinnamon

This warm herb is often used in southern and eastern cuisine for hearty dishes. Cassia cinnamon is delicious with rice with chicken, meat dishes, Greek moussaka and throughout Chinese cuisine. Cassie cinnamon can also be used in desserts such as applesauce, puddings, rice pudding and pastries.

Cinnamon drinks are also very popular. Cinnamon is delicious with mulled wine, grog, coffee, tea and chocolate milk.

Cassia cinnamon versus Ceylon cinnamon

The main difference between this cassia (Cinnamomum cassia) and Ceylon cinnamon is the coumarin content. Cassia contains about 2g to 5g of coumarins, while Ceylon cinnamon only contains about 0.015g of coumarins. The less, the healthier.

Almost all of the cinnamon you find in shops is cassia cinnamon.
