Cinnamon is naturally grown in western ghats region of Kerala. It is the same variety of Srilankan/Ceylone variety planted in Srilanka. World’s first and largest cinnamon plantation is in Kannur, Kerala, planted by British. Later only they started promoting Cinnamon plantations in Srilanka. Botanical names of both Kerala and Srilankan varieties are cinnamon verum. Though there are naturally grown cinnamon trees in the yards of most of the houses in the Ghats, these spices are not yet commercially exploited. They are not machine harvested like those cinnamons imported from Sri Lanka. In Kerala, since there is no commercial production or farm worker involved, the farmers themselves strip off the cinnamon skin using their , unlike the imported ones which undergo mechanized cutting and peeling.
Our cinnamon is not cassia. 99% so called cinnamon and cinnamon powder in the market is hazardous and banned cassia only. Cassia is very injurious to health, but unabatedly sold everywhere. We are promoting desi cinnamon found in our western ghats than imported Srilankan cinnamon. True cinnamon has very delicate mild sweet flavor, light brown or tan brown colour. Cassia is very dark brown colour, single layered and has very hot, spicy and pungent smell.
