Ceylon Cinnamon — True Cinnamon, Not Cassia
Ceylon cinnamon, the true cinnamon, sold as soft multi-layered quills that crumble between your fingers. Most of what is sold as cinnamon in India is cassia — a different, harder, blunter bark. Once you have had both side by side the difference is not subtle.
How we make it
The inner bark of the Cinnamomum verum tree is peeled by hand, the outer layer scraped away, and the thin sheets rolled inside one another into a quill and dried. Cassia, by contrast, is a single thick curl of coarse bark. The hand-peeling is why Ceylon cinnamon costs several times what cassia costs.
What goes in, what stays out
One ingredient: Ceylon cinnamon bark. Not cassia, and not a blend of the two — which is the usual substitution, since cassia is far cheaper and superficially similar in a ground powder.
How to use it
- Desserts and bakes, where its delicate sweetness suits
- Biryani and pulao, used whole
- Masala chai and spiced coffee
- Garam masala, freshly ground
- Anywhere a recipe specifies true or Ceylon cinnamon
How to store it
Whole quills in an airtight jar away from light keep well over a year. Ground cinnamon fades within a few months. Keep it away from steam.

FAQs
What is the difference between Ceylon cinnamon and cassia, and does it matter?
Ceylon cinnamon is thin, soft, layered bark with a delicate sweet aroma. Cassia is a thick, hard single curl, darker and much blunter. Cassia is also far higher in coumarin, which is why some countries advise limiting it. For everyday use the flavour difference alone is reason enough.
How do I tell them apart by looking?
Ceylon quills are made of many thin layers rolled together, like a cigar, and crumble easily by hand. Cassia is one thick curl of bark that you cannot break with your fingers. In powder form you cannot tell, which is the argument for buying it whole.
Why is Ceylon cinnamon so much more expensive?
The inner bark has to be peeled and scraped by hand, then rolled and dried. Cassia bark is simply stripped and dried. The labour difference is most of the price difference.
Is cassia harmful?
In ordinary culinary amounts it is widely eaten without issue, but it contains substantially more coumarin than Ceylon cinnamon, and several food authorities suggest moderating regular high intake. If you use cinnamon daily, Ceylon is the safer habit.
Can I substitute one for the other in a recipe?
By weight, roughly, but the result differs. Cassia is stronger and more pungent, Ceylon more delicate and sweet. Recipes from Sri Lanka, Europe and Mexico usually assume Ceylon; most Indian recipes as written assume cassia.
How much longer does whole Ceylon Cinnamon keep than the ground version?
Roughly four times as long. Whole spice holds its aroma for a year or more because the oils stay sealed inside; once ground, the same spice is noticeably flatter within a few weeks.
Can I toast Ceylon Cinnamon before grinding, and does that change how long it keeps?
Toasting deepens the flavour and is worth doing just before you grind. It does shorten the life of the spice though, so toast only what you are about to use rather than a whole batch.
What makes Ceylon Cinnamon from Miller Stores different?
We buy whole and sell whole, cleaned and sorted, with nothing added - no oil polish to make it glossy, no colour, no bulking material. And we will grind it for you at the counter, so the spice stays whole until the moment you actually need it ground.

Thank you miller store for such a quality and genuine products providing us in hyderabad.

Visited the store at Kondapur. Mr. Srinath the owner received us and explained in detail about each and every product in display as to how the product is sourced and milled at his location. I have personally used chilli powder, tumeric, pepper, cinnamon, and can say that each and every product has an authentic flavour and aroma. Overall all the products are good and very really liked.
Hi, just wanted to share my feedback about Miller Stores. So it could help someone like me. The quality of the products is really great. I used the wheat flour and it came out very soft and tasty. It felt fresh and not acidic at all. The chilli powder and cinnamon are also very good – definitely worth trying. The store is maintained very well and everything looks clean and hygienic. Also, the owner has excellent knowledge about the products. Honestly, it’s rare to see this level of knowledge from owners in Hyderabad. They explain things very clearly.
This is real Ceylon cinnamon.The aroma is mild and naturally sweet, not sharp like regular cinnamon.I use it in warm water and tea, and it feels gentle on the stomach with no acidity.You can tell the quality from the thin layers and smooth taste.This is clearly real Ceylon cinnamon, not the usual cassia sold in the market.Definitely better than the usual market cinnamon.If you care about quality and health,this is worth choosing.
