Production & Sourcing

Bark Harvesting: The process begins with harvesting the inner bark of Cinnamomum verum trees, commonly known as Ceylon cinnamon trees. The bark is carefully removed in thin strips, as this is where the flavorful compounds are concentrated.

Drying: Once the bark is harvested, it is laid out to dry. This drying process helps to preserve the bark and concentrate its flavor. As the bark dries, it curls into characteristic cinnamon sticks, also known as quills.

Grinding: After the bark is fully dried, it is ground into a fine powder using specialized equipment. This grinding process breaks down the dried bark into small particles, resulting in ground Ceylon cinnamon.

Unlike its more common counterpart, Cassia cinnamon, Ceylon cinnamon is milder and less intense, making it perfect for a wide range of culinary applications.

Texture

Nutritional Value

It contains antioxidants and essential minerals like manganese, which supports metabolism, and calcium and iron, crucial for bone health and oxygen transport. Its potential anti-inflammatory properties contribute to its positive impact on overall well-being.
