Did you know? One unusual aspect of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum plant is its method of harvesting. Unlike some other spice plants where only specific parts are collected, Cinnamomum zeylanicum is harvested by peeling off the outer bark of young shoots or branches. The inner bark, once exposed, is then carefully scraped off to obtain cinnamon quills or sticks. This method of harvesting is unique to Ceylon cinnamon and is a labour-intensive process. It requires skill and precision to ensure the removal of the inner bark without damaging the rest of the tree. Harvesting usually takes place during the rainy season when the bark is more pliable and can be easily peeled off. Additionally, the outer bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree doesn't go to waste. It is often used for various purposes, including making cinnamon oil and other by-products. This sustainable harvesting method is part of what contributes to Ceylon cinnamon's reputation as a high-quality and sought-after spice.
