Ceylon Cinnamon Premium Export

Cinnamon, renowned for its warm, sweet aroma and complex flavor, is a beloved spice in both culinary and medicinal traditions. Valued for its unique properties, cinnamon enhances a variety of dishes and offers numerous health benefits. At iSpice, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality Indian Cinnamon, sourced from the finest spice farms in southern India.

Ceylon Cinnamon, often referred to as “true cinnamon,” hails from the island nation of Sri Lanka, is also grown in Southern India and is distinguished by its superior quality and delicate flavor. Unlike its counterpart, Cassia cinnamon, Ceylon Cinnamon is characterized by its thin, papery bark that rolls into multiple layers when dried, resembling a quill. This variety is lighter in color, typically a tan or light brown, and has a more refined, sweet, and subtle taste. The bark is softer and more brittle, making it easy to grind into a fine powder, ideal for both culinary and medicinal uses.

The quality of Ceylon Cinnamon is meticulously maintained through careful harvesting and processing methods. The inner bark is hand-rolled and dried under controlled conditions to preserve its essential oils and aromatic compounds. Rich in cinnamaldehyde, this variety offers numerous health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, as well as the potential to regulate blood sugar levels. Ceylon Cinnamon is highly prized in gourmet cooking for its unique flavor profile, enhancing both sweet and savory dishes without overpowering them, making it a preferred choice for discerning chefs and health-conscious consumers alike.
