Spice Culture of Sri Lanka (Ceylon)

Ceylon Spices were very nearly an aphrodisiac for The Portuguese, Dutch and British. History records that The Portuguese held a stronghold, over the spice trade of then Ceylon. The tradition of considering Ceylon Spices like a wealth of Gold was followed by The Dutch too. After gaining independence in 1948, and being named Sri Lanka, the country is still considered the heaven of all spices. 

Many Sri Lankan spices contain healing properties. All spices are used in food preparation and Sri Lanka is a country with rich and exotic dishes, spices are a key ingredient. The right combination of spices can elevate taste buds to another level. Sri Lankan spices are known to be used in herbal medicines, Ayurveda, modern medicinal technology, personal care and cosmetics by Sri Lankan and international manufacturers.
