Pure Ceylon Spices is established in Canada to introduce the world’s finest cinnamon and other quality Sri Lankan spices in North America.
Cinnamon production in Sri Lanka follows an age-old tradition where the bark is manually scraped using tools of trade handed-down centuries back where the work can only be performed by specialized skilled peelers. Layers of these quills are covered and left to ferment prior to air drying them in-doors on roof level racks. In dried form the cinnamon quills curl into a golden colored cigar like rolls. Traditionally cinnamon growers share a fair amount of the revenue with the peelers unlike in most other agricultural crops.
