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.
