Cinnamon Dealers in Kochi

Cinnamon, a bushy evergreen tree of the laurel family (Lauraceae) is native to Sri Lanka (Ceylon), the neighbouring Malabar Coast of India, and Myanmar (Burma) and also cultivated in South America and the West Indies for the spice consisting of its dried inner bark. The spice is light brown in colour and has a delicately fragrant aroma and warm, sweet flavour. It is lighter in colour and milder in flavour than the other related species. Cinnamon was once more valuable than gold and has been associated with ancient rituals of sacrifice or pleasure. In Egypt, it was sought for embalming and witchcraft; in medieval Europe for religious rites and as flavouring. References to cinnamon are plenty throughout the Old Testament in the Bible. Later it was the most profitable spice in the Dutch East India Company trade. Botany Cinnamon is a bushy evergreen tree (6-8 m tall), cultivated as low bushes to ease the harvesting process. The leaves are long (10-18 cm), leathery and shining green on upper surface when mature. The flowers have a fetid, disagreeable smell. The fruit is a dark purple, one-seeded berry. It prefers shelter and moderate rainfall without extremes in temperature. Eight to ten lateral branches grow on each bush and after three years they are harvested. The Sri Lankan farmer harvests his main crop in the wet season, cutting the shoots close to the ground. In processing, the shoots are first scraped with a semicircular blade, then rubbed with a brass rid to loosen the bark, which is split with a knife and peeled. The peels are telescoped one into another forming a quill about 107 cm (42 inches) long and filled with trimming of the same quality bark to maintain the cylindrical shape. After four or five days of drying, the quills are rolled on a board to tighten the filling and then placed in subdued sunlight for further drying. Finally, they are bleached with sulphur dioxide and sorted into grades. Aroma and flavour Cinnamon contains from 0.5 to 1 present essential oil, the principal component of which is cinnamic aldehyde (about 60%). Other components are eugenol, eugenol acetate, and small amounts of aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, esters and terpenes. The oil is distilled from fragments for use in food, liqueur, perfume and drugs. The aldehyde can also be synthesized. Cinnamon leaf oil is unique in that it contains eugenol as its major constituent (70-90%). Culinary, medicinal and other use In modern times, cinnamon is used to flavour a variety of foods, from confections to curries; in Europe and the USA it is especially popular in bakery goods. The stick cinnamon is added whole to casseroles, rice dishes, mulled wines and punches, and to syrups for poaching fruit. The chips are also used in tea infusions or spiced cider blends. Ground cinnamon is used in baked goods like cakes, pasteries and biscuits. Cinnamon leaf oil is used in processed meats, condiments and also in bakery items. Oil from the bark is used in the manufacture of perfume. The cinnamic aldehyde and/or eugenol present are both antifungal agents. Cinnamon is a stimulant, astringent and carminative, used as an antidote for diarrhoea and stomach upsets.

Cinnamon is a spice obtained from the inner bark of several trees from the genus cinnamomum that is used in both sweet and savoury foods. While cinnamomum verum is sometimes considered to be "true cinnamon", most cinnamon in international commerce is derived from related species, which are also referred to as "cassia" to distinguish them from "true cinnamon

Cinnamon is widely used as a spice. It is principally employed in cookery as a condiment and flavouring material. It is used in the preparation of chocolate.It is also used in many dessert recipes, such as apple pie, doughnuts, and cinnamon buns as well as spicy candies, coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and liqueurs. True cinnamon, rather than cassia, is more suitable for use in sweet dishes.

The fragrant cinnamon is acquired from the inner bark of several trees of the genus Cinnamomum, of the family Lauraceae. Although there are more than one hundred varieties of the cinnamon tree, two varieties, namely the Ceylon cinnamon, also known as 'true cinnamon' and the Chinese cinnamon, also as 'cassia' are the most popular. Ceylon cinnamon, native to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Burma and the Malabar Coast of India, is more rare and thereby more expensive than the commonly available cassia. Cinnamon is one of the oldest known among spices and was used by the Egyptians in the embalming process. It is harvested during the months of June and July, by scraping off the outer bark, and then beating the branch evenly with a hammer to loosen the inner bark. The inner bark is then prised out into strips that curl into long rolls, known as quills. Uses of cinnamon As a condiment: Cinnamon is a popular spice and is used in cuisines all over the world. An indispensible ingredient in various desserts such as apple pie, cinnamon rolls, doughnuts and spiced candies, cinnamon is also used to flavor various cereals and bread based dishes. In Mexico, the world's largest importer of cinnamon, it is used in the preparation of chocolate. In Indian, Persian and Middle Eastern cooking, cinnamon is used to bring heat into various meat-based dishes. For general health: The warm and dry properties of cinnamon has been traditionally used a medicine to cure a variety of illnesses including common colds, kidney disorders and skin infections. Recent research has proved that the essential oils found in the cinnamon bark have exceptional anti-clotting, anti-bacterial and anti-microbial effects. Cinnamon is also an effective agent in the reduction of high blood sugar. It acts on the body by improving insulin activity and enabling the cells to increase their blood glucose absorption levels. Selection and storage of cinnamon Fresh cinnamon will have a strong, sweet smell; so if possible, smell the cinnamon before purchasing in bulk quantities. While both Ceylon cinnamon and cassia have essentially the same warm and fragrant smell, Ceylon cinnamon is thinner, sweeter and more refined in taste. Cinnamon should be stored in an airtight glass container in a cool, dark and dry place. While ground cinnamon will remain fresh for about six months, whole cinnamon sticks will stay fresh for about a year. Refrigerating cinnamon will help extend the shelf life by six months.
