The trading of cinnamon in Sri Lanka can be traced back to the times when Rome was ruled by Caesar. Cinnamon was such a precious commodity that the private trading of cinnamon was punishable by death. The Dutch created cinnamon gardens in the late 1700's to make it easier to harvest and control the supply. The true cinnamon tree is a native of Sri Lanka. |
