Cassia Quills

DESCRIPTION

Product: Cassia Crushed
Latin Name: Cinnamomum aromaticum
Plant Family: Lauraceae

Description: When crushed, it can be hard to distinguish the difference between Cassia and Cinnamon, but the difference is in the colour and scent! Cassia is more reddish brown in colour and has a coarser texture, with a stronger, yet more bitter flavour. Now you know the difference, it’s time to get creative in the kitchen…

SUGGESTED USE

Sprinkle our popular Crushed Cassia into bread, biscuit, cake, and muffin recipes, or use to create your own curry powder blend at home. Stir into soups, stews and tagines, season chicken, lamb and beef or blend into butter and make spicy cinnamon toast. (Try spreading cassia butter onto teacakes and crumpets… YUM!) Try something new by adding cassia to scented sachets and potpourri mixes for a warming scent that’ll fill your home.
