How Ceylon cinnamon is graded
Ceylon cinnamon quills are graded by diameter. The thinner the quill, the higher the grade. Alba is the thinnest, then the C grades, then M and H grades, which are thicker. True Ceylon cinnamon is made of many thin, soft layers rolled together. Cassia is one thick, hard layer, so the two are easy to tell apart.
