What does CASSIA mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A tree or shrub related to cinnamon, or the aromatic bark of certain Asian species of this tree, sold as an inferior substitute for true cinnamon.
Cassia bark looks and tastes much like cinnamon and is often sold under that name, though botanists distinguish it as coming from a related but different tree, generally native to China and Southeast Asia. Beyond the spice trade, cassia is also the name of a large genus of flowering plants, including species whose pods and leaves have long been used to produce senna, a traditional laxative. Most cinnamon sold outside specialty shops is in fact cassia rather than true Ceylon cinnamon.
