Share
Every day we receive dozens of messages from our clients that ask us about lead levels in our Cinnamon. Here’s one of them:
“I have been reading about high levels of lead in much of the cinnamon that is used here. How much lead does your cinnamon have? I use quite a bit of it and need to know. Thank you.”
We are proud to tell you that DRUERA Ceylon Cinnamon stands out for its safety and purity, with lead levels significantly below the FDA's recommended limits - just 0.19-0.21 ppm. It means our Ceylon Cinnamon is 100% safe to consume daily.
In this article, we go deep about lead in cinnamon, 12 brands to avoid and top 5 safe brands to use.
This inspired us to write this blog post, where we’ll talk about top 7 reasons to choose DRUERA as your Ceylon cinnamon supplier.

1. Premium Quality & Transparency
When it comes to Ceylon Cinnamon, also known as True Cinnamon, quality matters. DRUERA sets itself apart by sourcing our cinnamon from a single, trusted supplier. This approach guarantees the consistency and traceability of every batch of Ceylon Cinnamon that reaches your hands.
Transparency is key. By maintaining a clear chain of custody, DRUERA ensures that each step, from harvesting to packaging, is monitored meticulously. You can have confidence knowing where your spice originates and that it's the authentic cinnamon you're looking for.
Wholesalers often get their cinnamon from multiple sources, which can lead to variations in quality. With DRUERA, there is no such concern. The single-source approach means you receive a product that meets the stringent quality standards consistently.
2. Safe Levels of Lead in Each Batch We Send to You
When you choose DRUERA Ceylon Cinnamon, you are opting for safety and purity. Each batch undergoes rigorous lead testing. This ensures the product is safe for you and your family. We believe in transparency and take pride in delivering cinnamon that not only meets but exceeds safety standards.
Ensuring low lead levels amplifies more potential health benefits associated with Ceylon cinnamon.
Unlike many wholesalers who either skip testing or face challenges with large batches, our smaller batch sizes enhance the accuracy of our lead testing. This means you receive a product that is reliably safe and of high quality.
With growing concerns about lead contamination in the spice industry, we prioritize your well-being through stringent food safety practices. This commitment ensures you can enjoy the unique flavor of Ceylon cinnamon without worries.
3. Freshly Ground for Maximum Flavor and Longer Shelf Life
When it comes to DRUERA Ceylon Cinnamon, freshness is key. Cinnamon that is ground daily retains its robust flavor and aromatic qualities. By having your cinnamon freshly ground to order, you ensure that it arrives with its natural oils and flavors intact. This offers a richer taste experience with each use.
The benefits of fresh grinding extend beyond taste. Freshly ground cinnamon typically has a longer shelf life compared to cinnamon that has been sitting in warehouses for months. When you use cinnamon closer to its grinding date, the enhanced flavor offers a more enjoyable culinary experience.
Freshly ground cinnamon is also rich in antioxidants. These compounds play a vital role in combating oxidative stress, which is linked to various health concerns.
The potency of cinnamon extract increases when cinnamon is fresh, as the beneficial elements are more concentrated. Incorporating this into your daily regimen can be both a flavorful and health-conscious decision.
This attention to freshness sets DRUERA Ceylon Cinnamon apart. Its journey from grinding to your kitchen is swift, ensuring you enjoy its maximum flavor and shelf life without delay. When you opt for freshly ground cinnamon, you're making a valuable choice for your palate and pantry.
4. Best Level of Essential Oils as We Grind Cinnamon in Small Batches
Unlike many wholesalers, DRUERA grinds cinnamon in small batches – specifically, no more than 25 kgs for just half an hour each day. Grinding in small quantities means preserving a higher level of essential oils, such as cinnamaldehyde, which enhances flavor and benefits.
Here's why this matters: excessive grinding generates heat, causing the loss of these aromatic oils. This affects the taste and reduces the health benefits of the cinnamon. By maintaining cooler temperatures, DRUERA ensures that the cinnamon retains its rich oils, offering the best flavor and benefits.
Essential oils in Ceylon cinnamon contribute to its anti-inflammatory properties. They may have a positive impact on supporting heart health and reducing inflammation. When these oils are preserved, the cinnamon delivers a more potent health advantage.
By choosing cinnamon ground in this thoughtful manner, you're investing in a product that prioritizes quality and effectiveness.
5. Commitment to Your Satisfaction
When you choose Druera Ceylon Cinnamon, your satisfaction isn't just a goal; it's a guarantee backed by a solid track record. With an extensive presence online since 2005, Druera understands the importance of exceeding customer expectations.
Over 3,000 Worldwide Positive Reviews
Druera's online presence is marked by over 3,000 positive reviews from customers around the globe. These ratings convey trust and credibility, vital for ensuring product satisfaction. Unlike many traditional wholesalers who rarely showcase customer feedback, Druera thrives on transparency and consumer trust.
This means peace of mind for you, knowing Druera is committed to delivering quality products and outstanding service.
6. No Stockpiles, No Adulteration
Unlike other suppliers, DRUERA doesn't hold stocks overseas. This means each order is freshly packed and sent directly from the source, ensuring you receive pure Ceylon cinnamon, free from any potential for adulteration.
Adulteration is a concern in spices like cinnamon, particularly when it involves long supply chains. Cassia, which is often labeled simply as cinnamon, contains much higher levels of coumarin. With DRUERA, you get authentic Ceylon cinnamon, which naturally contains less coumarin compared to cassia.
In the global spice market, wholesale supply chains can be extensive, stretching from one continent to another. The longer the supply chain, the greater the risk of additives or substitutions. By not holding stocks overseas, DRUERA minimizes these risks, providing a product you can trust.
7. Source & Ship Within Days of Harvest Straight from Ceylon
Sourced directly from Ceylon, or Sri Lanka, our products are straight from the heart of where true cinnamon is grown.
DRUERA has been the pioneer in bringing Ceylon Cinnamon directly to consumers. Unlike many, we ensure that the cinnamon you receive is shipped within days of harvest. This rapid shipping practice helps preserve the essential oils and flavors that make Ceylon Cinnamon so uniquely appealing.
Enjoy the rich aroma and taste of cinnamon that retains its peak freshness. Each stick of cinnamon is carefully handled to maintain these qualities. You can savor the true essence of Ceylon Cinnamon, knowing it was sourced with care and professionalism.
By choosing DRUERA, you're supporting a legacy of delivering pure and high-quality Ceylon Cinnamon from its native home. Experience the delightful flavors and aroma each time you use our cinnamon, making your culinary experience more flavorful and authentic.
