In powder form it is nearly impossible to visually descern cheap Cassia cinnamon from true Ceylon cinnamon.  However, Cassia cinnamon sticks consist of a thick layer of rolled bark, while Ceylon cinnamon sticks have thin layers.  It is easier to distibguist the two in stick form.  Furthermore, in any form, Ceylon has a much softer, more pleasant smell as compared to Cassia.== Ceylon and your Health ==Ceylon also contains coumarin, however, in much lower amounts.  In fact, only in trace amounts.  A 2010 German study found that on average, Cassia cinnamon powder had up to 63 times more coumarin compared to Ceylon.  Cassia cinnamon sticks contained 18 times more than Ceylon cinnamon sticks.
