NUTMEG SOAP FAIR TRADE GIFT

Grenada, the Isle of Spice, is the world's second largest producer of nutmeg, with an annual production of some 6.7 million lbs. The nutmeg tree originates in Indonesia, and was probably introduced to the West Indies by sailing ships in the 1800s.

The nutmeg tree(Myristica fragrans) is a tropical evergreen with glossy deep green leaves. The fruit consists of an outer pericarp, resembling an apricot, which is used to make nutmeg jam, jelly and syrup. When the fruit is ripe, it splits open, revealing a shiny, dark brown nut surrounded by a bright vermilion covering, which is also a spice called mace. The dark brown shell cracks easily and contains the nutmeg kernel.

Despite being used as a spicy addition to to foods and beverages, nutmeg and it's oil are used extensively for remedies against colds, joint and muscle pains.

NUTMEG SOAP

Nutmeg Soap- a natural, mild soap hand made in Grenada from pure coconut oil, nutmeg oil and ground nutmeg. It lathers abundantly and the stimulating and exfoliating action of the ground spice, the anti-bacterial properties of the nutmeg oil, and the high glycerine content of this natural soap will leave your skin feeling clean, fragrant and silky.

Look out for this and others in our shop in the near future.

Cinnamon Soap

I had the fortune of spending two weeks in the beautiful island of Grenada in the West Indies. This country is renowned for it's spices. It was of no surprise when, I was presented with bars of Cinnamon Soap. Allow me to give you some insight into what Cinnamon is about.
Cinnamon(Cinnamon Zeylanicum or verum) is a small tree which grows to a height of 5-10 meters. It has long, glossy dark green leaves, small white flowers, and an aromatic bark. This is stripped off carefully and dried to form the characteristic rolls.
Cinnamon originated in Sri Lanka and South West India, from where it was first brought by venetian merchants in the 13th Century. In the 19th century, cinnamon was introduced to the Caribbean, where it is often drunk as as a hot beverage to combat against colds, flu and fever. It is said to stimulate the digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems, and is an excellent spice for both sweet and savoury dishes.

In Grenada cinnamon is mostly grown by small holders, and annual production is estimated to be around five tons.

CINNAMON SOAP

Cinnamon Soap- a natural, mild soap hand made in Grenada from pure coconut oil, ground cinnamon, cinnamon leaf oil and cinnamon fragrance. It lathers abundantly and the stimulating and exfoliating action of the ground spice, the anti-bacterial properties of the cinnamon, and the high glycerine content of this natural soap will leave your skin felling clean fragrant and silky.

Cinnamon Soap is one of the items which we hope to have within our shop very soon.
