However, there are many differences between Ceylon or “Real” Cinnamon and Cassia. These differences are both external such as texture, flavour and colour as well as differences between their constituents and properties.

Ceylon Cinnamon has a very smooth texture which is ideal for culinary uses as it enhances the texture of the meal as well as flavour. Cassia, on the other hand, has a rough, grainy texture.

The flavour of Ceylon Cinnamon is unmatched by Cassia. Ceylon Cinnamon tastes Spicy and sweet which is why it can be used on such a wide variety of dishes. Cassia however, tastes more harsh and strong than anything else.

Ceylon Cinnamon has a soft, light brown /orange colour which adds eye candy to any meal, much like saffron. A dirty, dark brown colour belongs to Cassia.

The most frightening aspect of Cassia is the fact that it contains at high levels an element known as comarin which is known to be toxic. Ceylon Cinnamon has 1250 times less coumarin than Cassia and is the safest Cinnamon for consumption.
