Demystifying Cinnamon: Ceylon vs. Cassia

If you have ever been confused by the terms "Ceylon", "True", and "Cassia" cinnamon, you are certainly not alone! Let's clear up the differences so you can choose the perfect spice for your cooking:

• Ceylon Cinnamon (Also known as "True" Cinnamon): If you are looking for "True" cinnamon, Ceylon is exactly what you need. It is derived from the inner bark of the Cinnamomum verum tree. It has a lighter, more delicate, and subtly sweet flavour profile with floral notes. It is also naturally lower in coumarin, making it a popular choice for those who consume cinnamon daily for health purposes.

• Cassia Cinnamon: This is the classic, robust, and punchy cinnamon most of us recognise from childhood baking. It is darker in colour and packs a much stronger, spicier warmth. It is absolutely brilliant for hearty recipes where you want the cinnamon flavour to stand up boldly against other ingredients.

Choose Your Format

Depending on what you are cooking, how you introduce the spice matters just as much as the variety:

• Cinnamon Powder: The ultimate convenience for instant, dispersed flavour. Perfect for dusting over hot drinks, whisking into cake batters, blending into smoothies, or mixing into dry spice rubs.

• Cinnamon Sticks (Quills): Ideal for a slow, gentle release of flavour. Drop whole sticks into simmering stews, authentic curries, mulled wines, or poaching liquids. You can easily remove them before serving, leaving behind a beautifully infused aroma without altering the texture of your dish.

Sourced for Every Lifestyle

We believe in making high-quality whole foods accessible to everyone. Throughout our collection, you will find both organic and non-organic options for our Ceylon and Cassia varieties. Whether you are strictly adhering to an organic diet or simply looking for brilliant, natural flavour at an everyday price point, we have exactly what you need.
