SPICE GARDENS

Sri Lanka has always been renowned for its spices. Over 15 different spices call Sri Lanka home and many of them are traded in the international spice market. Cinnamon especially is endemic to Sri Lanka, and the highest quality ‘true cinnamon’ can be obtained here. However, if a visitor does not know the right places to purchase spices it is very easy to be duped for low-quality spices or pay unnecessarily exorbitant prices. Visiting Sri Lanka which is a land of spices, without seeing those spices being grown would indeed be a pity too. So, can both, touring spice plantations and buying the best spices be done at the same time? The answer is –Yes!
