Sri Lanka produces around 22 metric tons of cinnamon every year. However, it isn’t the same cinnamon found on most people’s spice racks. It’s over 10 times as expensive and requires long, backbreaking work to harvest and process. Known as Ceylon cinnamon, it’s referred to by many as “true” cinnamon. But Ceylon’s cheaper, inferior alternative, called cassia cinnamon, dominates the world market, as it’s easily grown throughout Southeast Asia. We visited one of Sri Lanka’s largest Ceylon cinnamon producers to learn what it takes to make one of the world’s most valuable spices.

From now on, I will be looking out for the "Pure Ceylon Cinnamon" GI tag and checking if the ingredients list says it's Ceylon cinnamon to make sure I buy the good stuff. Or I will import directly from Sri Lanka to cut out the middle man. Thanks for this useful info.

Once I learned the difference many years ago, I've never bought anything other than pure Sri Lankan (Ceylon) cinnamon. To me it's worth the price, especially given it's history and coveted status. I don't like buying knockoffs, especially if they might be potentially harmful. Considering how much I put cinnamon in so many of my dishes from stews, soups, BBQ spice rubs, hot chocolate, coffee, milk shakes, homemade ice cream, baked goods.. I go thru a lot of Ceylon cinnamon. I feel better knowing that I'm directly contributing to small scale farms.

I use Ceylon cinnamon mostly for drinks (including bandrek and masala chai mix), desserts and pastry baking applications, but the only exception is hummus. For savory applications and in most other spice mixes, I use cassia from China, Indonesia, India, and Philippines. There are subtle differences in these cinnamon species. Where cassia has stronger cinnamaldehyde flavor, Ceylon cinnamon has a more toned-down cinnamaldehyde taste with subtle hints of bubblegum, orange peel, and resin.

Great video. Very informative and useful. Not everyone is aware of the good quality Ceylon Cinnamon. I’ve been using Ceylon Cinnamon for all my life.

I was surprised when at my local shop the rolls of cinnamon had a seal with Origin Sri Lanka. I don't live in a big city, so it was nice seeing we get the real stuff, we use rolls and rarely powdered cinnamon.

Absolutely fascinating insight into the cinnamon industry in Sri Lanka! 🇱🇰 It's incredible to learn about the meticulous process behind producing 90% of the world's pure cinnamon.

We in Sri Lanka normally use the dried rolled up stick version of cinnamon. Really rare the powder version is used. This makes sure we actually use the genuine spice. Try your self. This makes it much better and versatile.

We produce best cinnamon in our own plantations. But we have to depend on third parties for international markets. Buyers pay higher prices to get their requirements through dealers. Why cannot they access us direct, so there will be no third person in between. Both would be happier and profiting .....

I bought Frontier Co op Ceylon cinnamon. It says it's from Sri Lanka. I must confess I prefer the taste of Cassia because that's what I'm used to since childhood living in the USA, but I still bought Ceylon once I found out the true difference.
