in most markets. Ceylon cinnamon has a delicate, complex flavor, low coumarin levels (safe for EU food regulations), and is traceable to specific growing districts in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond cinnamon, Sri Lanka exports black pepper, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, mace, vanilla, and a range of ground spice blends.
