Cassia

£2.39

Cassia is similar to, but hotter and sweeter than cinnamon. Often used in place of cinnamon, particularly in America and it is also widely used in savoury Chinese cooking. As a rule cassia lacks the subtleties of good cinnamon but in baking the extra sweetness and heat of cassia adds more than the equivalent amount of cinnamon.

Add cassia in place of cinnamon to cakes, biscuits or desserts. Add to a braised pork or duck dish with star anise and soy for a distinct Chinese flavour.
