Cassia Bark Cinnamon (Cinnamomum Cassia/Cinnamomum Zeylanicum) comes from a small Evergreen Laurel Tree that originated in Burma.
The spice is actually the bark of the tree that is peeled. Once peeled, the outer bark is removed leaving the inner bark to be rolled into a stick.
Cassia Bark comes as rusty brown pieces ranging from 3/4 to 1-1 /2 in length with a fragrant, slightly sweet cinnamon flavor.
