Cassia Bark

Description

Dalchini Chaal, known widely as Cassia Bark (derived from the Cinnamomum cassia tree), is the bold, rugged cousin of true Ceylon cinnamon. The name itself tells you everything you need to know about its physical traits: in Hindi, Jangalee means wild, Dalchini means cinnamon, and Chaal means bark. Unlike the tightly scrolled, paper-thin layers of sweet Ceylon cinnamon, cassia bark looks like thick, rough, single-layer pieces of tree bark. It is intensely aromatic, pungent, and carries a strong, sweet-spicy warmth with a subtle, biting heat.
