Cassia vs. Ceylon Cinnamon: What's the Difference?

• Cassia Cinnamon: More common, stronger, spicier, and sweeter. The quills are thick, hard, and made from a single layer of bark rolled tightly.

• Ceylon Cinnamon: ("True" Cinnamon) More delicate, complex, and citrusy. The quills are softer, crumbly, and made from many thin layers of bark.

How to Use Cassia Cinnamon Quills:

• Grind for Baking: Break up and grind in a spice grinder for the freshest, most potent cinnamon powder for all your baking needs.

• Infuse Drinks: Steep a whole quill in hot apple cider, mulled wine, chai tea, or hot chocolate for deep, warming spice.

• Slow-Cooked Savoury Dishes: Add a whole quill to Indian curries, Moroccan tagines, and biryanis during cooking (remove before serving).

• Pickling & Preserving: A key spice in pickling brines for fruits and vegetables.

• Potpourri & Scent: Simmer with orange peel and cloves for natural holiday scent throughout your home.

A Note on Use: Cassia cinnamon is potent! Usually, one quill is sufficient to flavour an entire pot of stew or cider.
