Ceylon cinnamon is native to just one region of the world. And producing it requires hours of delicate work. Even the most skilled workers can make only a few pounds of quills a day. One pound of cinnamon quills can cost $27. But not all spices labeled "cinnamon" are the Ceylon variety. Many in the Western market are actually cheaper types of cinnamon called cassia. So what makes Ceylon cinnamon so favorable? And why is it so expensive?

I'm over 60 years old and I learnt so much from this video that I never new before. Thank you for understanding how much effort goes into this product and the differences in labelling. I hope the heritage of the Ceylon Cinnamon continues for many generations to come.
Good documentary. I am from Sri Lanka, and there is a trend in here to produce high quality cinnamon with global certification by young generation rather than traditional methods with transparancy
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
@@kyriltolbertlaughable
Traditional methods is better
Will you please, inform
3 brands, of Sri Lanka, to get CYLONE CINNAMON, either by courier or to get when known persons visit your country.
Am from South BHAARAT, Andhra Pradesh / Telangana State / Hyderabad / Tein Cities.

I love Ceylon Cinnamon! The taste and smell is amazing!!
Excellent documentary. I hope Sri Lanka is able to continue it's great Cinnamon heritage
It now destroyed by idiot president gotabaya Rajapaksha using organic revolution
Do you use Ceylon Cinnamon?
@@PDilshan I was typically clueless until I started my Keto and Intermittent Fasting lifestyle. Then, just a little study made the critical coumarin liver safety difference clear. Now I only use Ceylon, almost every day. I have lost 80 pounds and put my prediabetes into complete remission!
💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
Expensive today will save me a shitload of suffering & future expenses!
[I know a guy that had his diabetic feet amputated, so Ceylon cinnamon (w/Keto/IF!) vs not walking ever again is the very smartest trade-off🤨]
I as well. We wrote an article exposing the fakery that some producers and criminal elements have gotten away with as they are mixing the cassia cinnamon and passing it off as Ceylon cinnamon. ua-cam.com/video/JVkvS7CmEu0/v-deo.html
The narrator messed up when talking about which one is toxic, what do you mean?! Lol
I just watched this video, as I switched to eating ceylon cinnamon last year, and staying away from cassia cinnamon. There are a lot of fraudulent ceylon cinnamon products in this country, and thru research and watching videos, I will be able to hopefully order something authentic.
Hoping they make a good profit, it's a hard job, I really appreciate their hard work,please let them know we're appreciated their hard work
Interesting 😍
Unfortunately I don't think so :(
They do not make a good profit you can see from his house and clothing he is poor
@@Free-Palestine170Perhaps it is more of a case how the country is governed. Sri Lanka is a poor place in general
😅😢@@Free-Palestine170
This is a wonderful video. I only use ceylon cinnamon. I will appreciate it more now
I add Ceylon cinnamon to my smoothies - adds amazing flavor and provides ample antioxidants.
Exactly 🤩
Where do you get your Ceylon from? I’m trying to purchase some:(
Where r u from if Pakistan i have link@@min_kidseongstephaniearce3623
IT'S AMAZING THAT 500 YEARS AGO THIS GREAT SPICE RIVELLED GOLD IN COST BUT THOSE ACTUALLY DOING THE WORK GOT PENNIES AS THEY DO TODAY!!
Ceylon cinnamon is the only "true cinnamon" which have in the world..
Each time l take ceylon cinnamon, l remember your documentary
I'm not surprised here in the US, we get the cheap cinnamon with high tag price
If I remember correctly, the US is the only country that allows both Cassia and Cinnamon to be labeled as cinnamon, even though they differ significantly in health benefits, flavour, and smell. The best cinnamon grows in Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon. So, if you're considering buying cinnamon, which I highly recommend for its health benefits, make sure to choose Ceylon cinnamon.
Just go to a Hispanic grocery store they have the good cinnamon sticks. Mexico get 99 percent sir lanka cinnamon only, the people drink ☕️ cinnamon tea 🫖 all year long.
Or even an Indian, Sri Lankan Grocery store
Good documentary about ceylon cinnamon.
Agree 100% They say it is a hard scrupulous work that takes long time (what is true), but they didn't mention that workers are paid no more than 2$ a day for it!! And those big packages of barks are bought for cents, but sold for 30$. It is obvious why their children aren't interested in the sphere, because they see how their fathers work hard having no choice, but still live in poverty for 40 years. rotten world
Yeah 😢 this is what happening to tea industry too now in srilanka 💔
$10 per day
Great Vedio. BUT cinnamon is not that expensive here in srilanka. Processed 1 pound cost around 3.5-5 USD
Never knew about cassia. Why cant we simply get what we are asking for. Almost everything nowadays has a substitute and the consumer has to keep reseraching. From olive oil, to cinnamon. Such a pain.
Im so lucky to get cinnamon directly from my parents in srilanka to where i live in europe
Yet Sri Lanka has still yet to patent its own high quality luxury cinnamon brand with premium packaging, even with black pepper. It simply sells it to western brands to resell.
Ceylon for the win
Yes 😍
Sometimes the cinnamon sticks we get taste like bark. There is barely any flavor at all. But the next one from the same packet will be so spicy that it will make your mouth sting like crazy. Is this because they are slipping in some of the cassia variety or is it just some other tree bark completely that isn't even cinnamon?
Could be.
They can easily " differentiate ".
It's very easy to tell the difference between true (Ceylon) cinnamon and cassia cinnamon; the former is light brown, thin, and delicate, whereas the latter is redder in color and much thicker and harder. Most people in the U.S. may never have seen or used Ceylon cinnamon in their lives, and I order my Ceylon cinnamon via mail order.
😂
4:50 Cassia cinnamon has stronger fragrant; in your case, the *plain bark* is actually the Ceylon cinnamon. Contrary to this advertising, both are *real* cinnamon, not artificial (chemical compund produced in the lab). The Ceylon's is much more expensive despite lower fragrance because it's rarer, simply supply/demand law.
We are export container loads to Europe, USA, Australia, Chile, Peru ect. Any grade in any quantity
Great job
Gracias porque éste video ,tambien nos lo pusieron en español.
Who’s here after seeing that Chinese cinnamon is not good for you on social media? 😅
It is dire shame that in most countries we see cassia being labelled as cinnamon first. Ceylon cinnamon has more favour and is not spicy even to the most sensitive mouth
How can I buy this cinnamon powder I am in Cameroon
I buy from FLAVO - They sell the best Cinnamon
OK Ican supply you from SRI LANKA to CAMEROON what quantity do you need?
Cylon cinnamon sticks for me from now on !
You give the impression that these producers of cinnamon are paid well. When the simple reason it's expensive it's exploitation and exaggerated markup by the retailer lol

Good man. I love you brother. Good job. I don't forget the sisters.
Where can you order the pure Ceylon cinnamon?
I get mine via mail order from The Spice House in Chicago.
Ceylon cinnamon is very taste and helthy.
Please help to get real celeyon nursery
Ceylon cinnamon is the best...!!
Colinary brown gold
SRI LANKA ❤️
Shout out to Sri Lankinians . . Good stuff 🐱
Thank you
I wish we could know how people first had the idea to use the tree/wood this way, maybe building materials that smelled too good? 😊
My parents say that they used to chew cinnamon leaves since they are sweet
We have cinnamon of Kerinci Indonesia, we are ready to export
I suggest the harvester must use a pruning saw to have a smooth cut to the trees.
Basically we didn’t use any saw. Cinnomon knife is more efficiency than any kimd of saw
great video! Thanks. the younger generation aren't interested in doing anything that requires "work"!!
So expensive, Yet this farmer’s look filthy RICH.
Not rich, just filthy 😢
Cassia cinnamon is more popular in my country we produce it here in south America Guyana 🇬🇾

Yeah multan sai milagi

who runs their osha program
Wow
If you think this is the ceylon cinnamon you are getting you are so mistaken. The stuff online is all fake. I know because it's been years and years since I had real ceylon. The stuff now is not even close to the real stuff
Its easy to identify ceylon cinnamon . There are endless tutes on youtube to help the end consumer . But this identification is possible only in stick form not powder .
hi there. Im from indonesia looking for bussines ekspor cinnamon. we have best quality in the world
Woow
It's so so so sad that the younger generations don't want to keep up or learn the old ways. Out of all the old ways I think natural food and medicine are the most important things to keep going When it comes to culture it's so Important. The all these processed foods that are Poison that they're calling food and giving to us and our children is destroying humanity. This world is doomed. And it's looking like America is going to be the first to fall into a wast land. Unless things take a quick and careful turn for the better.
🙏

The narrator says the *Ceylon* has more of the dangerous chemical (to the liver), that's why it's healthier....? I'm guessing they meant Cassia vs Ceylon?????
Ceylon cinnamon is healthier. Cassia is very bad for lever
How tf did they figure out you can eat the bark of some random ass plant as a spice
Fr
I mean I get that the starving experiment and yada yada, but who decided to just fucking eat trees?
Plz give ENGLISH " scrolling "
now and then.
Here in my place it's free

Why are you promoting
CHRISTIANITY ?
Please do it in ISLAMIC Countries.
Wow, he used his feet gross
Bless all your amazing heart that do this work!🫂💞🙏🌎
*I don't know when these Chinese will stop harming human beings! Seems they will literally kill all originality and organic from the face of this earth! And this happens because of people who don't know the value of such hard work behind the farmers and still keep finding cheaper products and bargaining for them!* 😡😡😡
Bro needs to see a dentist
2 kuntal
No hygiene at all 🤢 tell me why?
Gross
remind me not to buy anything made in India or Sri Lanka please
Why is that?
Cinnamon grows in Asia not only in Sri Lanka, Cinnamon and Casia are two different things,it's not native to Srilanka and extracting Cinnamon barks is the same worldwide, pls do some proper research before going on youtube and the like.
But true cinnamon which comes from srilanka have more than over 5000 years history which even used for mommy process in Egypt. It is the healthiest cinnamon type
You dont know the history on cinnamon man.😅
