Why Ceylon Cinnamon Is So Expensive | So Expensive

#CeylonCinnamon #Cinnamon
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.

[@EveryoneIsStupidButMe]

I bet their houses smell wonderful

[@namal_att]

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

Traditional methods is better

[@bharaniravuri1316]

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.

[@sarahcampbell6102]

Excellent documentary. I hope Sri Lanka is able to continue it's great Cinnamon heritage

[@user-zc9xj5ch3w]

Do you use Ceylon Cinnamon?

[@eliseville]

@@user-zc9xj5ch3w 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🤨]

[@MichaelDiSalvoSATandACTTutor]

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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIfOp4ZteNJ4q5I

[@ari3lz3pp]

The narrator messed up when talking about which one is toxic, what do you mean?! Lol

[@Ryanhelpmeunderstand]

I love Ceylon Cinnamon! The taste and smell is amazing!!

[@yanickbernadeau26]

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

[@user-zc9xj5ch3w]

Interesting 😍

[@ExploringNew1]

Unfortunately I don't think so :(

[@Free-Palestine170]

They do not make a good profit you can see from his house and clothing he is poor

[@Ceylonherbsmarket]

Ceylon cinnamon is the only "true cinnamon" which have in the world..

[@Therealtuxedo]

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.

[@positivelastaction3957]

I add Ceylon cinnamon to my smoothies - adds amazing flavor and provides ample antioxidants.

[@user-zc9xj5ch3w]

Exactly 🤩

[@min_kidseongstephaniearce3623]

Where do you get your Ceylon from? I’m trying to purchase some:(

[@mairabutt7820]

Where r u from if Pakistan i have link​@@min_kidseongstephaniearce3623

[@adityarao8570]

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.

[@PuertoR0ck]

Ceylon for the win

[@user-zc9xj5ch3w]

Yes 😍

[@viktoriiastoieva]

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

[@kasunherath3490]

Yeah 😢 this is what happening to tea industry too now in srilanka 💔

[@HandleOfUltraEntertainment]

$10 per day

[@shenethwaduthantri2859]

Great Vedio. BUT cinnamon is not that expensive here in srilanka. Processed 1 pound cost around 3.5-5 USD

[@sasankarashani]

Great job

[@feberuizguzman5030]

Gracias porque éste video ,tambien nos lo pusieron en español.

[@cleancutguy1892]

I'm not surprised here in the US, we get the cheap cinnamon with high tag price

[@HirunKarunaratne]

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.

[@LOVE-JC777]

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.

[@mayukasilva4953]

Or even an Indian, Sri Lankan Grocery store

[@Ceylonherbsmarket]

We are export container loads to Europe, USA, Australia, Chile, Peru ect. Any grade in any quantity

[@user-Queen94]

Each time l take ceylon cinnamon, l remember your documentary

[@jeanandre6129]

Good man. I love you brother. Good job. I don't forget the sisters.

[@BigSkyGuyWhy]

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

[@chamaradeshan9903]

Ceylon cinnamon is very taste and helthy.

[@avanthijayarathne2325]

Ceylon cinnamon is the best...!!

[@simonphoenix3789]

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?

[@bharaniravuri1316]

Could be. They can easily " differentiate ".

[@dbadagna]

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.

[@martianme9482]

Shout out to Sri Lankinians . . Good stuff 🐱

[@user-zc9xj5ch3w]

Thank you

[@user-zc9xj5ch3w]

Wow

[@cesartabasa3204]

I suggest the harvester must use a pruning saw to have a smooth cut to the trees.

[@sanjularavishan5755]

Basically we didn’t use any saw. Cinnomon knife is more efficiency than any kimd of saw

[@khumanlaishram8366]

Please help to get real celeyon nursery

[@ari3lz3pp]

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? 😊

[@ExploringNew1]

My parents say that they used to chew cinnamon leaves since they are sweet

[@Sufficient4UsIsAllah]

There’s always mixed information. I just read on Wikipedia that Ceylon is more potent. And here she’s saying cassia is more fragrant and Ceylon more delicate. I guess the only way to know of to get both and do a comparison yourself.

[@dbadagna]

Ceylon cinnamon does generally have a lower oil content than cassia cinnamon, giving it a milder aroma. Saigon cinnamon has the highest oil content and, consequently, an intense aroma and flavor.

[@beverlywinfrey6872]

Where can you order the pure Ceylon cinnamon?

[@dbadagna]

I get mine via mail order from The Spice House in Chicago.

[@blessingebude9877]

How can I buy this cinnamon powder I am in Cameroon

[@user-zc9xj5ch3w]

I buy from FLAVO - They sell the best Cinnamon

Cassia cinnamon is more popular in my country we produce it here in south America Guyana 🇬🇾

[@gerodnielsen805]

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.

So expensive, Yet this farmer’s look filthy RICH.

[@colonelcorn9500]

Not rich, just filthy 😢

[@ari3lz3pp]

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?????

[@NamalKarunathilaka]

Ceylon cinnamon is healthier. Cassia is very bad for lever

[@bharaniravuri1316]

Plz give ENGLISH " scrolling " now and then.

How tf did they figure out you can eat the bark of some random ass plant as a spice

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

[@Sophialatha]

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 .

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!* 😡😡😡

[@ugh-su5qg]

remind me not to buy anything made in India or Sri Lanka please

[@mentor2888]

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.

[@dilshansooriyaarachchi804]

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
