Can Sri Lanka regain the glory of cinnamon? – Research continues

Cinnamon is one of the most loved spices when it comes to the world of cooking. The spice is said to have originated in Sri Lanka and people from far and wide would come to the island to trade cinnamon. Wellness hotels like Heritance Ayurveda also use this spice as a medicine. But what you see on the shelf today is not the true cinnamon that existed in the past. What is being packeted and sold now is Cassia which is not the pure spice.

Experts looking into bringing back true cinnamon, which is namely, Cinnamomum Zeylanicum say it is possible. For more insight on the production of cinnamon, plan a holiday to Sri Lanka. Located close to many a Beruwala hotel is a cinnamon plantation that can be visited.
