Cassia Bark

Cassia bark (Chinese cinnamon) is a spice made from the dried bark of the cassia tree and is closely related to cinnamon.

It has a warm, sweet, and slightly spicy flavor with a stronger and more pungent aroma compared to true cinnamon. Cassia bark is commonly used in cooking, baking, teas, and spice blends, especially in Asian cuisines.

In whole form, it is often added to curries, soups, stews, and rice dishes to infuse a deep, rich flavor during cooking. It is also ground into powder and used as a seasoning.

In traditional herbal practices, cassia bark is believed to support digestion, improve circulation, and provide warming effects to the body.
