Common questions from importers about sourcing, quality, and exporting Cinnamon (Dalchini) from India.
-
What determines the quality of Indian Cinnamon and Cassia?Quality is assessed based on the Cinnamaldehyde content (minimum 55% of volatile oil) and moisture levels (max 12%). For Quills, the tightness of the roll and the lack of 'feathering' or breakage are key visual indicators of premium export grade.
-
Why is South Indian Cinnamon preferred for specific industries?Sourced from Kerala and Karnataka, Indian cinnamon is prized for its balanced sweetness and aromatic depth. It is highly valued in the European bakery and confectionery industries for achieving a 'true' cinnamon profile without the harshness of lower-grade varieties.
-
What are the different forms of cinnamon available for bulk purchase?We supply Cinnamon Quills (5cm/10cm), Broken Cinnamon (for grinding), and fine Cinnamon Powder (mesh 40-80). These are used extensively in spiced beverages, seasonal baking, and as a natural anti-diabetic component in supplements.
