    Default - Cassia, cinnamon ??

    - Went to Baldwins in London today and bought 25 grams of cassia, it says it is cassia bark and on the package it says:

    Cassia Bark
    Cinnamomum aromaticum

    also it's brown and in big chunks . . has anyone else grounded this up themselves and used as cassia ? I read online it would be a green powder but it's brown bark . . will it still work ?

    Haalp. hope I didn't spend my little money in vain . .

    Sorry, you got the wrong stuff.

    The name Cassia obovata is rather old and outdated. The current classification for the plant is Senna italica. You want laxative, not cinnamon.

    - Ahh checked their catalogue again and yeah tey sold me the wrong stuff, because it's not labelled as cassia but as white henna powder ..

    Hopefully I can return the cinnamon bark and buy the real deal tomorrow
