Cinnamon comes in two main types — delicate Ceylon and bold cassia — and the right one depends on how you cook.
Ceylon ("true" cinnamon, Cinnamomum verum) is native to Sri Lanka: light, citrusy-sweet and fragrant, rolled into papery multi-layered quills, and naturally very low in coumarin — the variety heavy daily users tend to choose. Cassia is the familiar everyday cinnamon: a single thick bark curl, darker and redder, hotter and more pungent, more affordable, and naturally higher in coumarin. As a rule of thumb, choose powder for baking and stirring straight in, and sticks for infusing mulled drinks, curries and rice — or for grinding fresh.

Cinnamon FAQs
What's the difference between Ceylon and cassia cinnamon? Ceylon ("true" cinnamon) is light, delicate and citrusy-sweet, with papery multi-layered quills and very low coumarin. Cassia is the everyday cinnamon: darker, bolder and more pungent, with a single thick bark curl and naturally higher coumarin.
Which one should I use? Cassia's bold flavour stands up well in baking and everyday cooking. Ceylon is prized for its subtler, more aromatic flavour and is the one many people choose if they use cinnamon daily, because of its low coumarin.
Powder or sticks? Use powder for baking and stirring straight into dishes. Use sticks to infuse mulled drinks, curries, stews and rice, or to grind fresh for the best aroma.
How should I store cinnamon? Keep it in an airtight container away from heat, light and moisture. Sticks hold their aroma for years; ground cinnamon is best within a year while it's most fragrant.
