Sri Lanka, an island country located in the Indian ocean in South Asia, is known for its herbs and spices – in particular Ceylon cinnamon.
Cinnamon is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory spice known for its role in lowering blood sugar and reducing the risk for cancer. It provides a sense of sweetness when added to food, so you can reduce the amount of sugar needed. Ceylon is Sri Lanka’s former British colonial name before it received independence in 1972.
Druera is a Sri Lankan spice company I came across who sells premium spices and products made from their spices. Almost all of the cinnamon we get in the US comes from the cassia cinnamon tree because it is cheap and strong in flavor. Ceylon cinnamon is from the verum tree and is considered to be the finest and most highly prized cinnamon in the world. Druera sells teas, soaps, and oils made from various spices – and Ceylon cinnamon. What is more indulgent then fresh, natural spice from an exotic locale?
