Why Ceylon Cinnamon Is So Expensive | So Expensive

#CeylonCinnamon #Cinnamon
Ceylon cinnamon is native to just one region of the world. And producing it requires hours of delicate work. Even the most skilled workers can make only a few pounds of quills a day. One pound of cinnamon quills can cost $27. But not all spices labeled "cinnamon" are the Ceylon variety. Many in the Western market are actually cheaper types of cinnamon called cassia. So what makes Ceylon cinnamon so favorable? And why is it so expensive?

I'm over 60 years old and I learnt so much from this video that I never new before. Thank you for understanding how much effort goes into this product and the differences in labelling. I hope the heritage of the Ceylon Cinnamon continues for many generations to come.
I bet their houses smell wonderful
Good documentary. I am from Sri Lanka, and there is a trend in here to produce high quality cinnamon with global certification by young generation rather than traditional methods with transparancy

@@user-zc9xj5ch3w I was typically clueless until I started my Keto and Intermittent Fasting lifestyle. Then, just a little study made the critical coumarin liver safety difference clear.

Yet Sri Lanka has still yet to patent its own high quality luxury cinnamon brand with premium packaging, even with black pepper. It simply sells it to western brands to resell.

Great Vedio. BUT cinnamon is not that expensive here in srilanka. Processed 1 pound cost around 3.5-5 USD
Gracias porque éste video ,tambien nos lo pusieron en español.
Never knew about cassia. Why cant we simply get what we are asking for. Almost everything nowadays has a substitute and the consumer has to keep reseraching. From olive oil, to cinnamon. Such a pain.
We are export container loads to Europe, USA, Australia, Chile, Peru ect. Any grade in any quantity
I'm not surprised here in the US, we get the cheap cinnamon with high tag price

If I remember correctly, the US is the only country that allows both Cassia and Cinnamon to be labeled as cinnamon, even though they differ significantly in health benefits, flavour, and smell. The best cinnamon grows in Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon. So, if you're considering buying cinnamon, which I highly recommend for its health benefits, make sure to choose Ceylon cinnamon.

Agree 100% They say it is a hard scrupulous work that takes long time (what is true), but they didn't mention that workers are paid no more than 2$ a day for it!! And those big packages of barks are bought for cents, but sold for 30$. It is obvious why their children aren't interested in the sphere, because they see how their fathers work hard having no choice, but still live in poverty for 40 years. rotten world
Each time l take ceylon cinnamon, l remember your documentary
Ceylon cinnamon is very taste and helthy.
Good man. I love you brother. Good job. I don't forget the sisters.
Sometimes the cinnamon sticks we get taste like bark. There is barely any flavor at all. But the next one from the same packet will be so spicy that it will make your mouth sting like crazy. Is this because they are slipping in some of the cassia variety or is it just some other tree bark completely that isn't even cinnamon?

It's very easy to tell the difference between true (Ceylon) cinnamon and cassia cinnamon; the former is light brown, thin, and delicate, whereas the latter is redder in color and much thicker and harder. Most people in the U.S. may never have seen or used Ceylon cinnamon in their lives, and I order my Ceylon cinnamon via mail order.

There’s always mixed information. I just read on Wikipedia that Ceylon is more potent. And here she’s saying cassia is more fragrant and Ceylon more delicate. I guess the only way to know of to get both and do a comparison yourself.

Ceylon cinnamon does generally have a lower oil content than cassia cinnamon, giving it a milder aroma. Saigon cinnamon has the highest oil content and, consequently, an intense aroma and flavor.
great video! Thanks. the younger generation aren't interested in doing anything that requires "work"!!
Cassia cinnamon is more popular in my country we produce it here in south America Guyana 🇬🇾

It's so so so sad that the younger generations don't want to keep up or learn the old ways. Out of all the old ways I think natural food and medicine are the most important things to keep going When it comes to culture it's so Important. The all these processed foods that are Poison that they're calling food and giving to us and our children is destroying humanity. This world is doomed. And it's looking like America is going to be the first to fall into a wast land. Unless things take a quick and careful turn for the better.

remind me not to buy anything made in India or Sri Lanka please
Cinnamon grows in Asia not only in Sri Lanka, Cinnamon and Casia are two different things,it's not native to Srilanka and extracting Cinnamon barks is the same worldwide, pls do some proper research before going on youtube and the like.
