Cinnamon (Cassia)

Cinnamon, specifically Cassia cinnamon, is a spice derived from the bark of the Cinnamomum cassia tree, native to China and Southeast Asia. It is often confused with Ceylon cinnamon, but Cassia has a stronger, more pungent flavour and a thicker, rougher bark. Cassia cinnamon is commonly used in both sweet and savory dishes, adding a warm, aromatic flavour. Beyond its culinary uses, Cassia is also prized for its medicinal properties, including its ability to regulate blood sugar and fight infections.

In the first century A.D., Pliny the Elder wrote of 350 grams of cinnamon as being equal in value to over five kilograms of silver, about fifteen times the value of silver per weight.
