Cassia refers primarily to Cinnamomum cassia (Chinese cinnamon), a common, pungent spice derived from the bark of an evergreen tree native to South/Southeast Asia. It is widely used for flavoring in cooking,,, and as a key component in Chinese five-spice powder. Notably, it is distinct from "true" cinnamon (Ceylon) due to higher coumarin content.
Key Details About Cassia:
Spice Characteristics: Cassia bark is thicker and has a more pungent, stronger aroma than Ceylon cinnamon. It is often sold simply as "cinnamon" in North America.
Health and Risks: It is used to help control blood sugar in type 2 diabetes. However, it contains high levels of coumarin, which can cause liver and kidney damage with high, regular consumption.
Botanical Distinctions: While commonly used for the spice, "Cassia" is also a large genus of legumes (Fabaceae), with many species now reclassified under Senna.
Uses: Beyond culinary use, it is used in essential oils to reduce inflammation and anxiety.
