🌿 Premium Ceylon Cinnamon (True Cinnamon) – Earthly Essence India

Among the world’s most cherished spices, Ceylon Cinnamon stands apart as the “True Cinnamon” – a spice prized for its delicate sweetness, refined aroma, and incredible health benefits. Unlike the more common Cassia variety, Ceylon Cinnamon offers a lighter, softer, and more elegant flavor that has been treasured for centuries in culinary traditions, traditional medicine, and wellness practices.

At Earthly Essence India, we proudly present Premium Ceylon Cinnamon, carefully sourced from trusted plantations, naturally processed, and hygienically packed to preserve its sweet fragrance, subtle taste, and healing properties.

🌱 The Origin – The Spice of Royalty

• Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) is native to Sri Lanka and parts of Southern India.

• Known as the “King of Spices”, it has been used since ancient times in Egypt, Greece, Rome, and China for both flavor and medicine.

• Unlike Cassia cinnamon, which is thicker and more pungent, Ceylon Cinnamon is soft, brittle, and delicately flavored.

• Its production requires careful hand-rolling of inner bark layers, making it rarer and more valuable.
