Ceylon Cinnamon

Cinnamon is the brownish bark of a tree, which is dried and used for preparing several kinds of foods. Cinnamon is native to Sri Lanka, known as the "Cinnamon island". This evergreen tree yields cinnamon. The dried and rolled bark of the Cinnamon tree was used in baking traditional dishes and drinks. For centuries, it was considered a valuable constituent of traditional Ayurvedic medicine.

Cinnamon is used as a spice in Western cuisine. Its warm, spicy flavor can be used in gourmet desserts, in preserving meat and fish, and in traditional drinks like lattes and hot chocolate. It also has medicinal qualities, which include the ability to lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels, fight inflammation and boost brain function.

The history of Ceylon Cinnamon has been traced back to ancient times when it was considered a valuable commodity for trade. Ancient Egyptians would use cinnamon for embalming their dead bodies.

The benefits of cinnamon include its ability to lower blood sugar levels, fight inflammation and boost brain function. Cinnamon can be used in savory dishes, sweet desserts, drinks or simply sprinkled on top of food for added flavor. It is also available in supplement form if you want to take advantage of its health benefits without adding it to your diet.

Cinnamon is produced in many parts of the world, but Ceylon cinnamon is considered the best quality cinnamon due to its high concentration of cinnamaldehyde, which gives it its unique flavor. If you are looking for true cinnamon (also known as Ceylon cinnamon), make sure to check the label before purchasing as many products labeled as cinamon actually contain cassia bark, which is a cheaper alternative but does not offer the same health benefits.

History of Ceylon Cinnamon

The true Ceylon (Sri Lankan) cinnamon was found by the Portuguese at the beginning of the 16 th century. They controlled the trade with extreme cruelty. Dutch began to demand cinnamon and they fought the Portuguese until Ceylon's cinnamon trade was taken over by Holland in the mid-17 century. But the Dutch people got the Cinnamon monopoly in Srilanka. It is also possible to see the history of Cinnamon Sri Lanka. According to the Dutch promise of protection for the kingdom, the Sri Lankan king Sri Keerthi Sri Rajasinghe signed an Up country-Dutch accord with the Dutch government. Throughout history, it proves that Cinnamon played a huge role in Srilankan History as well.
