Cassia
Cassia is a spice derived from the bark of the cassia tree, often referred to as cassia cinnamon. Though similar in flavor and appearance to true cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), cassia has a stronger, spicier, and slightly more pungent taste. Cassia is widely used in both culinary applications and traditional medicine, especially in Asian, Middle Eastern, and North African cuisines. Its rich flavor profile makes it a key ingredient in spice blends like Chinese Five-Spice and Garam Masala. Cassia is also highly valued for its medicinal properties, including its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and blood sugar-regulating effects.
