Identifying Ceylon Cinnamon in Saudi Arabia is generally pretty simple. And it doesn’t require a microscope or an advanced study in botanical sciences.<\/p>\n

In a nutshell, appearance-wise, Ceylon cinnamon sticks are thinner, kind of fragile, and delicately roll into a quill-like shape. Unlike the hard, thick cassia sticks, Ceylon cinnamon is soft to the touch, often breaking apart easily. If you\u2019re holding a stick that feels a bit thick like a twig, it\u2019s probably not Ceylon.<\/p>\n

While the Ceylon cinnamon isn’t thick, it’s layered and rolled one inside the other to form like this thick roll. It’s very easy generally to look at it and recognise it.<\/p>\n

Here’s a picture:<\/p>\n

That image is from this article that talks about the difference between Ceylon and Cassia cinnamon<\/a>. You might find it a pretty interesting read.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Much of the cinnamon pictures will show Ceylon cinnamon having a kind of a light, golden brown, almost honeyed, while Cassia carrying somewhat of a deeper tone, with a reddish-brown hue.<\/p>\n

If you look at the picture above, you’ll notice many of the details we’re mentioning.<\/p>\n

There is also the fragrance. We’re not going to say that one smells better than the other. But some speak of Ceylon cinnamon having a kind of a citrusy, subtle, sweet aroma. And Cassia is said to have a kind of a more spicy aroma.<\/p>\n

Ceylon is the old name for Sri Lanka. An island in the Indian Ocean where it’s said that the majority of Ceylon cinnamon comes from.<\/p>\n

So when looking at the label, you could potentially look for distinct country of origin that says it’s from Sri Lanka. It’s also a good idea to purchase Ceylon cinnamon from respected and known brands like Seylany<\/a>. As the quality, authenticity of Ceylon cinnamon is checked and guaranteed. If you’re in Saudi Arabia, while there are several great brands in the region that sell authentic Ceylon Cinnamon, we invite you to consider Seylany’s authentic Ceylon Cinnamon.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
