Where Cinnamon Comes From 

Thank you, Sri Lanka. Your trees are delicious.

Also good for repelling the very scary and dangerous Mexican Staring Frog from Southern Sri Lanka. Hububububibubibibuuurrrrrrr

Actually there r 2 types in cinnamen; the real is soft & yellowish colour have intence smell & other is reddish & hard a little. Hw cn we recognise frm video , which one is this

Cinnamon comes from the dollar store in little bottles. You don't need to go to Sri Lanka!

Wow learn something new everyday. Also surprised that such a tiny country is supplying the entire world with cinnamon!

i am happy i followed my train of curiosity. i had an idea of 'where' cinnamon came from but to see the people behind the product really puts things into perspective. i am so grateful for the people that make the sweetness of cinnamon possible for us worldwide. and to you all for sharing this video! thanks be to all!

OMG I never knew how cinnamon was harvest, we drink tons of cinnamon tea, thank YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to bring this product to our table. THANK GOD FOR THESE PEOPLE that with love work this lovely food.

7 Key Differences Between Ceylon Cinnamon and Cassia Cinnamon Ceylon Cinnamon 1-A highly valued culinary and medicinal spice. Price can be up to 10 times more than the Cassia/Chinese cinnamon. 2-Contains a small, negligible amount of coumarin, a naturally occurring blood-thinning substance. Recommended for regular use, eg for correcting blood sugar level. 3-Tan brown in colour. 4-Thin and paper-like textured bark that forms multiple layers when rolled up. 5-Fragile, easily broken. 6-Delicate, sweet with subtle notes of clove. Creates an excellent flavor profile for pastries, cakes and desserts. 7-Mostly originated from Sri Lanka and used in most part of Europe and USA. Cassia/Chinese Cinnamon 1-Commonly available and very cheap. You get a bag of the sticks for less than a dollar. 2-Contains a high level of coumarin content which can be harmful for the liver and kidney when consumed daily or regularly. Not a concern for occasional use. (Note: Saigon Cinnamon, a type of cinnamon from Vietnam that shares a similar appearance with Cassia, also contains a relatively high level of Coumarin.) 3-Reddish dark brown. 4-Uneven thick bark that forms only a few layers when rolled up. 5-Tough, difficult (if not impossible) to grind to powder with an electric home kitchen grinder. 6-Pungent, full-bodied taste. Suitable for Chinese braised meat recipes. 7-Primarily sourced from China and supplied to the USA and Asia. Source- www.albacinnamon.com/ www.exportersinsrilanka.com

I am Sri Lankan living in abroad. This video brought me lots of nostalgic memories, for I myself had two acres of cinnamon planted when I was in Sri Lanka, the most precious land for me on earth.

That's actually Cassia not cinnamon.

Any Sri Lankan viewers here?

I’m eating a tree in my cereal Life has been completed

Thank you for this video! I’m now drinking ceylon cinnamon tea , it helps my stomach a lot. Especially because I have a parasite infection. Was curious how it was made. Thank you and God Bless you in the name of Jesus!

Ceylon tea and Ceylon cinnamon thanks srilanka

can someone please stop that fucking dog.

If Sri Lanka supplies 90% of the cinnamon in the world, SL sure is not the one making profits

We have a cinnamon tree 🤗

TY for the video. Im in my 40s and had no clue where it came from. lol

I would love to try that cinnamon tea with that fresh cinnamon

This guy can't stop thinking about donuts lol.....

Cool channel! I never realized what went into harvesting cinnamon. Thanks for the info.

I have two cinnamon gardens here in Sri Lanka. Soon I will make new videos of cinnamon....

This is a lovely video

Cinnamon is a staple of mine, as I have it twice a day in my hot chocolate. And a bit of Nutella, too, for a creamy treat!

Wonderful. Blessings to the brothers of Srilankan

Unfortunately I got removed most of the trees,which are only about ten years old a week back. Now I have about 5 trees which need another ten years to remove bark. This happened due to heavy winds few days back which uprooted many trees. Thank you sir for your enquiry

Try the bark of the roots its the best of the best. We only take the roots in my region.

Surprised their isn't any NY or California democRat tree huggers chaining themselves to these trees.....

My dislike is for the music. So loud I turn it down so as not to bother others, then when they talk you can't hear then and have to turn it up again. yuk

Yes you become like this thank you doctor

Why are we pretending a bunch of natives have anything to do with cinnamon production?

Very cool, thank you for sharing, and thank you to the people who do this daily so we have cinnamon toast, cinnamon sticks for apple cider, etc. I appreciate them!!

i always my cinnamon in INDIAN shop , a proper one and its cheaper too !

TY for the video. Im in my 40s and had no clue where it came from. lol

Wow! amazing ❤ I like cinnamon

All this time I thought it was the bark but it's actually the cambium layer

Sad that the tree is killed in the process. Great video. Tnxs.

Thanks you . I have about 50 trees in my land near Manipal,Udupi district in Karnataka State India.

Thanks for showing this video

4:06 cinnamon challenge

where to get real cinnamon? thnks

Well Billy, When a Cinnamon see a Cinnawomon the courting dance begins. It evolves into a cheap unseemly night where the Cinnawomon kicks out the drunken Cinnamom for being a jerk. 9 Months later and many court hearings the Cinnamon gives up all of his property and commits suicide by toast. But on a bright note, The Cinnawomon finds a baby Cinnamon in a pumpkin patch that becomes an alcoholic once he leans of his daddy Cinnamon's fate which leads to years of therapy and eventual drug use and the dangerous sport of Cinnamon Hearting and hopefully running off before you are grabbed and swallowed.

What the music that you use?

can it be from any tree

Excellent thanks

would love to have a Cinnamon plant, is it possible .??

Pretending that You like their Cinnamon?? Girl! Don't do it infront of the camera😂😂

cinnamon is the best bread ever

They only thing I learnt from this video is. srilankan people listen our Bollywood songs. I don't like this particular song.

I’ve got to say, the quality of this video is is ridiculous lmao. Music is so loud I turn down the volume, then you talk so soft I can’t hear you??? Came here for a simple answer left with a headache and more questions lmao

Great video. Watching him drag what would be potentially my food over the floor where all those nasty bare feet are walking and watching the guy stomp down all the cinnamon leaves with his nasty bare feet thoroughly turns me off of cinnamon. From this Source at least.

Combined, Indonesia and China produced 75% of the world's cinnamon in 2016 when global production was 223,574 tonnes (table). Four countries accounted for 99% of the world total: Indonesia, China, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka.[30] Sri Lanka doesn't produce over 90% of worlds cinnamon like the documentary stated
