Use it to add flavour to any spicy dish. Cassia is used rather than ‘true cinnamon’ in savoury Indian and Chinese dishes. It adds a punchy flavour that can elevate your restaurant dishes, and it’s a specialist ingredient that the average home cook probably won’t be using so you can give your customers a new taste sensation. Cassia is also used in gin distillation as its bark offers a richer flavour than cinnamon.

Cassia has a pleasantly sweet and strong aromatic flavour. It is closely related to cinnamon, and is widely used in Indian, Sri Lankan, Chinese and Persian cuisines, to create curry blends, stews and fragrant rice dishes. It’s the preferred spice to use in strong, spicy dishes.

Cassia is often found in gin. It is often sold as cinnamon but cassia is prized by distillers. The bark is thicker, and although some describe the flavour as being ‘less delicate’ than true cinnamon, the thicker, hardier bark is better suited to distillation.
