Import Ceylon Cinnamon — Buy in wholesale FOB from Supplier in Sri Lanka

Ceylon Cinnamon, scientifically known as Cinnamomum Verum, is native to Sri Lanka and distinguished by its thin, layered quills, light tan color, and mild, citrusy aroma. Gc Spices offers multiple grades including ALBA, C4, C5, C5-Spicel, H1, H2, H3, M4, M5-Special, and HLQ, each suited to specific applications in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. The spice is air-dried to preserve its delicate flavor and aromatic compounds, which include cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, and linalool, contributing to its antioxidant properties.

True Ceylon Cinnamon is characterized by its low coumarin content, typically below 0.0004%, making it safer for regular consumption compared to cassia, which contains higher levels of this naturally occurring toxin. The quills are formed from the inner bark of the Cinnamomum Verum tree, with typical moisture content ranging from 10-12% and oil content between 1-2% for high grades. Standard industry classifications for Ceylon Cinnamon include quill diameter ranges of 6-22 mm, with ALBA grade often featuring the thinnest quills at 6-7 mm.
