Sri Lankan Spices
Sri Lanka was historically known as the Spice Island in the Indian Ocean and for centuries many tradesman from the west visited the Colombo Port looking to buy spices. Even today, Sri Lankan exporters offer the most sought-after cinnamon, pepper, cloves, cardamoms, nutmeg, mace and vanilla. These crops grow in abundance all over the island in fertile and diverse soil types and varying temperature conditions.
Sri Lanka is the world largest producer and exporter of Cinnamon to the world. Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinamomum zylanicum) originating in Sri Lanka is introduced to the international market as "Pure Ceylon Cinnamon" which reflects a combination of intrinsic characteristics of Cinamomum Zylanicum.
Cinnamon is the most important spice commodity among all spices. Pepper is the second important commodity and Sri Lankan pepper has a high intrinsic quality due to higher peppering content that gives it a superior quality and pungency. Pepper is offered in different grades for grinding and extraction of essential oils and oleoresins. Other spices such as cloves, cardamom, nutmeg and mace also have high aromatic flavor. Sri Lankan clove is found to be richer in oil than those from other growing countries in the world. The dour, flavor and oil content are the important criteria of cloves. Cardamom is popularly known as 'Queen of Spice'. Cardamom lands are generally termed as spice gardens. Light green variety of Cardamom is exported from Sri Lanka. Nutmeg and mace are two distinctly separate spices derived from the same plant. It is an evergreen tree which grows in the Hill Stations in country.
