I am so glad for this mini. I loved being on the Island of Grenada where much of the world's spices are grown. A short tour of the photo: In front are small fruit called French Cashews. They taste like pears, I ate several. Clockwise from 11 o'clock is a ginger root which is the root of a lovely flower, I don't know the next fruit, the next is a star fruit, then more French cashews, then a half pod of cocoa beans. The pods are about a foot long and inside are disgusting slimey white beans that must be dried, and then danced on (really) At 6 o'clock are small yellow pods bursting open, those are mace. You toss the fruit and take that red webbing to make mace. The nut that remains is nutmeg. To the left of them is a loofah sponge and peppers and cinnamon. I have no what the little yellow "brain" balls are. ???? If you notice that price of nutmeg went up a LOT four years ago and stayed there it is because Hurricane Ivan wiped out 95% of the trees that grow it. It takes 15 years to get a new crop.Grenada is the 2nd biggest grower of spices in the world
