Cassia is an aromatic bark, similar to cinnamon, but differing in strength and quality. Its bark is darker, thicker and coarser.
Cassia is sweet-spicy like cinnamon and has similar flavours : warm, sweet and pungent.

Applications : the pieces are hard and tough, so they are very difficult to grind. They can be used whole in stews and casseroles, the bark will flatten during cooking.
Whereas cinnamon is used for sweet dishes, or ones requiring a subtle flavour, cassia is used in strong, spicy, main dishes. It is often used in stewed fruits, especially apples and with mixed spices for pudding spice, pastry spice and mulling spices.
