I know that, but one in higher ammounts cotains a toxin right? The Cassia is not as safe in larger amounts because of a substance it contains. I agree their properties are near the same! They taste different though if you really get down to it, the real one is a little sweeter IMO.

Cassia has properties as well and they do call it Cinnamon, but is it as effective as the real? I don't know but I would prefer the real stuff.


BTW I got alot of the real cinnamon off of Mountain Rose herbs! I got the sticks and grinded alot of them up, not very expensive.

In Sanskrit, tulsi means literally "the incomparable one" and has been revered since ancient times. Tulsi, the holy basil, is said to have grown at the site of Christ’s crucifixion and is associated with St. Basil’s feast.
