Cinnamon ~ Indonesian Cassia
$9.50The Greek poet, Sappho, referenced Cassia in 7th century B.C. Though not the “true” Cinnamon, Cassia (also called Chinese Cinnamon) is often sold as Cinnamon in the U.S., where it’s preferred for its strong, spicy and lingering flavor.
Use in both sweet and strong savory dishes: candies, baked goods, meats, preserves, curries, and hot beverages. Cassia, with its intense aromatic qualities and taste, is the popular choice for Cinnamon Rolls.

Local Spicery’s Harissa is also terrific in gazpacho! I added about 1 tsp Harissa instead of traditional hot sauce and it deepens the flavor of the vegetables and tomato juice. Wow!
