The Difference Between Ceylon Cinnamon and Casia Cinnamon
Ceylon cinnamon, sometimes known as “true cinnamon,” is a Sri Lankan native. It is produced from the Cinnamomum verum tree’s inner bark. Tan-brown in color and made up of multiple dense sticks with delicate layers is Ceylon true cinnamon. These characteristics provide a particularly appealing quality and feel. And unlike Cassia cinnamon, Ceylon cinnamon has a richer, more delicate flavor. The low concentration of coumarin, a naturally occurring plant compound that thins the blood, is a very significant difference between Ceylon cinnamon and other types of cinnamon.
Our Cinnamon Crops Management
Since the entire cinnamon plant is taken when it is harvested, a large amount of fertilizer is required for the bush to regenerate a new shoot. The use of organic fertilizer considerably boosts yield and also very advantageous for healthy growth of the plant.
After three years of cultivation, the first harvest of cinnamon can be made when the stem’s bark color turns to brown and the stick diameter is between three and five centimeters. Peeling of gathered sticks are done on the same day after trimming branches and leaves from the sticks.
Farmers coppice, or cut back, a Ceylon true cinnamon tree when it is around two years old and then cover it with soil. By using this method, it grows like a bush and by the next year, new shoots start to appear from the sides. These shoots are the source of new cinnamon stems.
