Product Description
Cassia Cinnamon Powder
Cassia cinnamon powder is a fine, reddish-brown ground spice made from cassia bark, also called Chinese cinnamon. It has a strong, warm and sweet flavour that works in baking, curries and hot drinks.
What Cassia Cinnamon Powder Tastes Like
Cassia cinnamon powder has a bolder, spicier taste than the lighter cinnamon many people know from sticks. The aroma is deep and warming, with a little heat at the end. The powder is smooth and mixes easily into batters, doughs and sauces.
Ways to Use Cassia Cinnamon Powder
Cassia cinnamon powder is useful in both sweet and savoury cooking. Its strong flavour holds up well in long bakes and slow-cooked dishes.
- Cinnamon buns, swirls and apple crumble
- Spiced porridge, overnight oats and rice pudding
- Flapjacks, carrot cake and spiced biscuits
- Chai, mulled drinks and hot chocolate
- Biryani, lamb tagine and other slow-cooked curries
- Mixed with sugar for toast, pancakes or roasted fruit
Cassia or Ceylon Cinnamon: What Is the Difference?
Cassia is darker and stronger than Ceylon cinnamon, which is paler and milder. Cassia gives a robust cinnamon taste that comes through in rich bakes and spiced savoury dishes. Ceylon is often chosen for delicate desserts where a gentler flavour is wanted.
Tips for Cooking with Cassia Cinnamon Powder
Cassia cinnamon powder gives its best flavour when it is warmed briefly in fat. Stir it into hot oil or melted butter for a few seconds at the start of a curry or a spiced bake.
For baking, whisk the powder into the flour first so it spreads evenly. Start with a small amount, because cassia is strong. You can always add more next time.
Cassia Cinnamon Powder FAQ
Is cassia cinnamon the same as Ceylon cinnamon?
No, they come from different types of tree bark. Cassia is darker, stronger and spicier, while Ceylon is lighter and milder.
Can I use cassia cinnamon powder instead of Ceylon in a recipe?
Yes, but use a little less at first. Cassia has a stronger taste, so a smaller amount often gives the same level of flavour.
Can I use cassia cinnamon powder in savoury cooking?
Yes, it is widely used in curries, rice dishes and stews. A small pinch adds a warm, sweet background note.
Add cassia cinnamon powder to your basket ready for your next batch of cinnamon buns or a pot of spiced chai.

We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect. This is particularly applicable to products supplied in cans, tins, plastic containers, boxes or similar packaging. If you receive a product that is broken, leaking, materially damaged, unsafe, unusable or otherwise not as described, please contact us within 24 Hours of delivery by email or telephone and provide your order number, details of the issue and clear photographs of the damaged product and packaging. We may require further information or evidence to investigate the matter and, where necessary, may take up to 14 days to complete our investigation. Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect. Product images displayed on our website are for illustration and presentation purposes only. Actual product packaging, branding, design, colour, size, shape or appearance may vary depending on availability, manufacturer, batch or packaging updates. Such variations do not necessarily indicate that the product supplied is different from the product ordered, provided that the product itself corresponds to the description and specifications stated on the website. We ask customers to check their order and products as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and contact us promptly if there is any material damage, fault, incorrect item or issue with the goods.
