Considered the world’s best cinnamon, Ceylon cinnamon has been grown and produced in Sri Lanka for generations. The spice originated in the early 16th century in the central hills of the country and the cultivation is currently concentrated along the coastal belt from Negambo to Matara.
A generational craft for the Lankans – it has a lush, inviting scent and a sweet taste, and its quills are soft and light brown in color.
Sourced from the inner bark of the Cinnamomum verum tree, the edge of this spice is owed to the lower content of the essential oil – cinnamaldehyde (50 – 63%) and just traceable amounts of Coumarin (approx. 0.04%). Thus, ensuring the body receives just as much is needed.
Ceylon cinnamon contains anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial effects. It also boosts cognitive activity and provides protection against neurological disorders.
