Dried nutmeg
Dried nutmeg in sacks. These seeds are from the nutmeg tree (Myristica fragrans). The seeds are found inside fleshy fruits, which split open when they are ripe to reveal the seed covered by the aril. The aril is removed and dried to make mace. The seed is also dried and sold either whole, grated or powdered. Both mace and the nutmeg seed can be used in a variety of sweet or savoury recipes. Photographed in Grenville, Grenada

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases dried nutmeg in sacks, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of spice production. The seeds depicted here are derived from the nutmeg tree, scientifically known as Myristica fragrans. Nestled inside fleshy fruits, these seeds remain concealed until they ripen and split open to unveil the seed covered by the aril. To create mace, an aromatic spice with a distinct flavor profile, the aril is meticulously removed and dried. The nutmeg seed itself undergoes a similar drying process before being sold in various forms: whole, grated or powdered. Renowned for their versatility, both mace and nutmeg can be incorporated into an array of delectable sweet or savory recipes. Captured in Grenville, Grenada - a picturesque Caribbean town renowned for its natural beauty - this still life composition offers a glimpse into the local industrial harvest scene. With sacks brimming with dried nutmeg prominently displayed against a rustic backdrop, one can almost smell the rich aroma permeating through this bustling hub of culinary excellence. This photograph not only highlights Grenada's role as an exporter of this prized spice but also celebrates its significance within global cuisine. It serves as a reminder that behind every delicious dish lies an intricate network connecting nature's bounties to our plates – where tradition meets innovation and flavors intertwine harmoniously.
