About This Product
Kerala Cinnamon
Cinnamon is one of the world's oldest and most beloved spices — used in food, pharmaceuticals and fragrance for over 4,000 years. Two commercially important types are available: True cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum, also called Ceylon cinnamon) — native to Sri Lanka and cultivated in Kerala — characterised by its delicate, sweet flavour, thin layers and low coumarin content. And Cassia (Cinnamomum cassia) — bolder, more pungent and the type most commonly sold as "cinnamon" in the US market.
PAX Herbal supplies both types in quills (various grades), quillings, featherings and powder. Volatile oil content and eugenol percentage are tested per batch. For EU market buyers, coumarin content is specified — true cinnamon has very low coumarin (EU-compliant for daily use), making it the preferred choice for European food manufacturers.
