Description
What is the difference between Ceylon cinnamon and cassia cinnamon?
The main difference between the Ceylon cinnamon and cassia (Cinnamomum cassia) is the content of coumarin. Cassia contains approximately 2 to 5 grams of coumarin, while Ceylon cinnamon contains only approximately 0.015 grams coumarin. Our Ceylon cinnamon is analyzed on coumarin so we definitely have the best quality cinnamon.
The true Ceylon cinnamon is softer and slightly more complex and milder flavor than cassia. Cinnamon recognized by close coiled pipes, cassia is usually slightly thicker and the pipes are hollow. The deep, rich flavor of cassia doing well in savory dishes, while the finer Ceylon cinnamon blends better with sweet (desserts).
Ceylon cinnamon ground: the refined cinnamon from Sri Lanka
Ceylon cinnamon ground is obtained from the inner bark of the Cinnamomum verum, a cinnamon tree that mainly grows in Sri Lanka. This type of cinnamon is known for its refined, mild and slightly sweet flavor and is therefore often chosen by lovers of high-quality spices.
Thanks to its subtle aroma, Ceylon cinnamon is not only delicious in sweet dishes such as apple pie, cookies and oatmeal, but also surprisingly tasty in savory recipes. Add a pinch to a curry, stew, couscous or tomato sauce for extra depth, or use it to give coffee, hot chocolate or warm milk a warm spicy flavor.
At Natural Spices, Ceylon cinnamon ground is available in packages of 375 grams, 1 kilogram and 20 kilograms.
How is Ceylon cinnamon made?
Ceylon cinnamon is obtained from the young inner bark of the cinnamon tree. After the outer bark is removed, a thin layer of bark remains. During drying this naturally rolls up into the characteristic cinnamon sticks you probably know.
After drying the sticks are carefully ground into a fine powder. This produces Ceylon cinnamon ground: an aromatic spice that is easy to dose and can be used in both sweet and savory dishes.
What is the difference between Ceylon and Cassia cinnamon?
Although both products are simply sold as "cinnamon", there are clear differences between Ceylon cinnamon and Cassia cinnamon.
Ceylon cinnamon has a refined, mild and slightly sweet taste with a complex aroma. Cassia cinnamon is stronger, spicier and a bit sharper in taste. Therefore many bakers and chefs choose Ceylon cinnamon when the spice plays an important role in the dish.
Another difference is the natural content of coumarin. Ceylon cinnamon naturally contains considerably less coumarin than Cassia cinnamon. That is why many consumers prefer Ceylon cinnamon when they use cinnamon regularly.
At Natural Spices we analyze our Ceylon cinnamon for coumarin content. This ensures you a product that meets high quality standards.
