Cassia Bark

Cassia bark is widely used in Indian cooking. Flavour of cassia is milder and less intense than ‘true’ cinnamon, and this contributes to the flavour profiles of several Indian dishes in which cassia is widely used.
It has a pronounced spicy-warm flavour that complements the other spices that it is normally used with, like cloves and cardamom. It tends to be used in several spice blends, particularly the traditional Indian garam masala, as well as madras curry powder.
