What is organic cinnamon?
Organic cinnamon is a cinnamon that is grown without the use of harmful pesticides or forbidden synthetic fertilizers. According to the Ministry of Agriculture of the United States (USDA), so that it is possible to consider organic cinnamon cinnamon cannot be harvested from bio -special plants or to be exposed to ionizing radiation. In addition, cinnamon must be grown by agricultural procedures that have the least environmental impact and must be harvested using fair trade procedures.
The process of growing organic cinnamon starts from the seed. Cinnamon hides from the bark of several varieties of cinnamon trees. In order to be considered organic, the trees from which the cinnamon is harvested could not be grown from genetically modified seed. Cinnamon tree is then grown after specific fertilizers and pesticides. Sewagkalk is sometimes used on non -organic crops, but is not used if cinnamon harvest is to be considered organic. Nutrients in the soil of organic crops are maintained by agricultural afterStages such as turning crops and cultivation. Composting manure is an approved fertilizer for organic crops. Forbidden fertilizers are not used on organic crops for three years before the harvest.
Biological methods are used to control pests on organic cinnamon crops. The beneficial insects may be released that feeds either insects harmful to trees or interferes with the breeding and reproduction of insects. Harmful insects can also be removed either manually or using a specialized machine. The limited number of pesticides is approved for use on organic crops if harmful pests cannot be checked by other means. Forbidden pesticides do not apply to cinnamon crops for three years before harvester.
cinnamon is hidden from the inner bark of the tree. The thin inner bark is stripped and dried into roles or blue. Cinnamon is then sold in the form or on the ground to powder. Irradiation, sometimes used on sweatRavinary crops, which are subject to an extension of market life, are not used on organic cinnamon.
natural cinnamon is not the same as organic cinnamon. The term natural means that no artificial ingredients, dyes or preservatives are added to the cinnamon. Natural cinnamon may contain pesticides or remains of artificial fertilizer. Organic cinnamon, albeit grown without harmful pesticides or fertilizers, may still contain trace amounts of these chemicals. Some pesticides and fertilizers can remain in the soil for decades and eventually absorb into cinnamon trees.
