Cinnamon Zeylanicum Vs Cassia
Cinnamomum Zeylanicum is a tree indigenous to Sri Lanka which produces the highest grade of pure cinnamon. Cinnamon grown and produced in Sri Lanka has built for itself a long-standing reputation in the international markets for exceptional quality, unique color, flavor, and aroma quite distinct from cinnamon sourced from other countries around the world.
Both Cinnamon Zeylanicum and other cassia varieties are tree bark from the same family of plant, but not from the same plant. Even though Cinnamon Zeylanicum and cassia varieties are related, both should not be treated as the same spice as both are different in nutritional value. In addition, the chemical profiles of each variety is quite different; and one of the most important differences is the amount of Coumarin content, a substance known to cause liver damage found in each variety.
History of cinnamon
Cinnamon is one of the oldest spices known to man. It has been used for centuries for its flavor, aroma and medicinal properties. The earliest evidence of the use of cinnamon dates back to 2800 BC and was found in ancient Egyptian tombs. Cinnamon was also used by the ancient Greeks, Romans and Chinese.
Cinnamon was originally imported from Sri Lanka, but later it was cultivated in other parts of the world, including China, India and Vietnam. In the Middle Ages, cinnamon was a valuable spice and was often used as a gift for royalty.
In the 16th century, the Dutch East India Company began to trade cinnamon on a large scale. This brought down the price of cinnamon and made it more accessible to the common man.
