What Are Cassia Quills?

One of the most commonly searched questions is “What are cassia quills?”

Cassia quills are the dried bark of the cassia tree and are the variety most commonly sold as cinnamon sticks. They have a stronger, sweeter and more intense flavour than Ceylon cinnamon, making them ideal for cooking and baking.

How Do You Use Cassia Quills?

Cassia quills are best added whole during cooking to slowly release their flavour. They’re perfect for:

• Mulled wine and hot apple cider
• Rice puddings and desserts
• Curries and slow-cooked stews
• Poached fruit
• Chai tea and hot chocolate
• Rice and pilaf dishes
• Homemade stocks and broths
• Pickling and preserving
• Homemade spice blends
• Infused syrups

Simply remove the quill before serving, just like you would a bay leaf.

What’s the Difference Between Cassia and Ceylon Cinnamon?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions.

Cassia cinnamon has a stronger, sweeter and spicier flavour with a thicker, harder bark, while Ceylon cinnamon has a lighter, more delicate flavour and a softer, layered bark. Cassia is the preferred choice for many everyday recipes due to its bold taste.

How Should Cassia Quills Be Stored?

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Whole cassia quills retain their flavour and aroma for much longer than ground cinnamon.
