Cinnamon and cassia are plants of the same family, but different species, so the cinnamon spice obtained from these plants will also be different. Neither one nor the other spice is fake. Both Ceylon cinnamon and cassia are real natural spices, differing in shades of taste and aroma, as well as chemical composition. It is believed that Ceylon and Malabar cinnamon contain the most essential oils, which is why its aroma is stronger than that of Ukrainian or Indian cinnamon. Indonesian cinnamon (cassia, as it is called) is mainly supplied to Ukraine. The quality of cinnamon is affected, first of all, by the age of the tree: the older the tree, the thicker the bark, and the less essential oils it contains. The bark of a young tree is very thin multi-layer cinnamon sticks - has a large amount of essential oils, is valued higher, and is more difficult to obtain. Also, when collecting bark from a tree, first the coarse layer is removed, then the thinner ones. The former are cheaper, the latter are more difficult to extract and are more valuable in composition, therefore they are more expensive.
