"True Cinnamon" & "Ceylon Cinnamon" are the other famous names used by people to call Sri Lanka Cinnamon. Sri Lanka is the world's largest producer and exporter of pure cinnamon to the world and pure Ceylon Cinnamon Suppliers from Sri Lanka claim 90% of global market share. Cinnamon grown and produced in Sri Lanka has acquired long standing reputation in the international market due to its unique quality, colour, flavour and aroma. Cinnamomum Zeylanicum is a tree indigenous to Sri Lanka which produces the highest-grade pure cinnamon. Ceylon Cinnamon is categorized into four major grades - Alba, Continental, Mexican and Hamburg based on the diameter of the quill, where the most expensive (Alba) has a 6 mm diameter quill. Furthermore, value-added Cinnamon products such as oil, powder and tablets are also produced and exported to a large number of countries. Cinnamon is used in the preparation of chocolates especially in Mexico, which is the main importer of true Cinnamon. It is also used in many dessert recipes, spicy candies, tea, hot cocoa and liqueurs for its distinctive aroma and flavour with the growing concern on health hazards associated with synthetic flavouring agents used in the food industry. Cinnamon is also used in the pharmaceutical preparations and the cosmetic industry world wide.
