What do you think a good use for cassia cinnamon is? Those little hard candies?
Maybe it’s just that I spent a lot of time in Mexico growing up, but I think ceylon cinnamon is better for every purpose I can think of. I wouldn’t describe it as “floral” though.
My impression is that cassia cinnamon is usually used because it is cheaper.
- gotocake 8y agoDefinitely ideal for hot candies, and it’s good to add some kick to baked goods. Personally I’m a huge fan of using Ceylon and cassia in the same application to round out the flavor. Cassia is cheaper, but it’s not like it’s the difference between true and fake wasabi.
- tptacek 8y agoThat may have been why it was used originally, but it's also used now because it's what people expect from cinnamon flavor; it's stronger than ceylon.
