Cassia is native to Assam. and North- ern Burma, while true cinnamon originated in the | island of Ceylon, now called Sri Lanka. Cassia, one of the oldest spices, was recorded in a Chinese herbal as far back as 2700 BC. The Bible tells us that both cassia and cinnamon were used by Moses to anoint the tabernacle (Exodus 30-23 25) according to God’s command.. | In classical times Arab and Phoenician traders introduced these spices to Europe. The dried bark of both species is available commercially in the form of sticks (quills) or ground - powder. One can easily distinguish cassia bark from that of cinnamon, which is lighter in colour and much finer. Cassia’s flavour is more intense but leas fragrant in aroma than cinnamon. It has a slightly bitter and astringent taste, while cinnamon is agreeably sweet with a delicate yet intense taste, ' well-defined, fragrant and warm. The quills of both spices are rolled by hand and -yolled daily until dry. This is when the quills | become tan in colour and smooth and brittle. Thousands of years ago Egyptians used cinnamon in their embalming blends. Romans paid a high price for. that spice. a Culinary v uses: . Cassia i is better suited for 5 savoury dishes rather. than. sweet while cinnamon is ‘suited for savoury and sweet dishes, Cassia and cinnamon are both at home with savoury dishes. Few East Indian curry mixes are without the addition of cassia or cinnamon. Both spices are widely used in Morocco, _ Indonesia and Middle Eastern countries. Medicinal uses: Cinnamon and cassia are both recommended as an astringent, stimulant and carminative to aid digestion and relieve vomiting. In folk medicine they are used to treat diarrhea, nausea and flatulence. Other uses: The quills can be crushed and added to potpourri mixtures and are: widely used in the making of pomanders and incense. A kitchen hint: Simmer crushed pieces of cinna- mon, cloves, nutmeg and ginger root in an open pot of water. The delightful and welcoming smell will make a wonderful kitchen air freshener.
