Cassia

The ordinary commercial Cassia is the bark of the Cinnamomum Cassia, which comes from China, Japan, Indo-China and India. It is usually darker in color than true Cinnamon, rougher, and about four times as thick.

Cinnamon and Cassia range in value according to type and quality, although much depends on actual flavoring strength. They are chiefly valued in the order named—Saigon, Batavia or Java and China.

Those desiring a pure Ceylon Cinnamon can secure it from McCormick & Company of Baltimore, Importers and Grinders of Spices. Choicest Cassia, in rolls or ground, is put up under their Bee Brand and Banquet Brand Trade Marks.
