Cassia has long been used in cooking and in traditional Chinese medicine.
Cinnamon - origin

Cassia cinnamon comes from the Cinnamomum cassia tree, also called Cinnamomum aromaticum. It originates from southern China and is also known as Chinese cinnamon.

Cassia is a dark brown-red color, with thicker sticks and a coarser texture than Ceylon cinnamon. It is the most common and preferred type of cinnamon.

Cinnamon is obtained by cutting the stems of cinnamon trees. The inner bark is then extracted and the woody parts are removed.

When dry, it forms strips that are rolled into rolls called cinnamon sticks. These sticks can be ground to form cinnamon powder.

The distinctive smell and taste of cinnamon is due to the oil part, which is very high in the compound cinnamaldehyde. In Cassia Cinnamon, it is 95% of the oil, which explains its stronger aroma compared to Ceylon Cinnamon, in which the compound is 50-63%. Scientists believe that this compound is responsible for most of cinnamon's powerful effects on health and metabolism.
Which type of cinnamon should I choose?

The Cassia variety contains significant amounts of a compound called coumarin, which is thought to be harmful in large doses.

Ceylon (the "true" cinnamon) is much better in this regard, and studies have shown it to be much lower in coumarin than the Cassia variety.

And to give you an idea: Cassia contains approximately 1% coumarin, while Ceylon contains only 0.004%, or 250 times less. This is so low that it is often undetectable.

Exceeding the coumarin upper limit is easily possible if you consume a lot of Cassia Cinnamon. In many cases, just 1-2 teaspoons can exceed the daily limit. So, if you consume larger amounts of cinnamon, it is better to choose Ceylon cinnamon.
