Ceylon cinnamon became one of the island's most prized trade commodities, attracting merchants and later European powers seeking control of the spice trade. Historical accounts describe cinnamon as a luxury worthy of monarchs and rulers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the time European maritime trade expanded, cinnamon had become so commercially important that control of Sri Lanka's cinnamon-producing regions was a major strategic objective. The Portuguese, Dutch, and British all played roles in the island's cinnamon trade, while the Dutch later developed systematic commercial cultivation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes Ceylon cinnamon visually distinctive is its structure.
