Gouyave Nutmeg Processing Station
Gouyave Nutmeg Pool
The nutmeg cooperative's processing station in the fishing village of Gouyave, where workers hand-sort nutmeg and mace, filling the air with the scent of spices.
This three-story wooden building is the main processing station of Grenada's nutmeg cooperative. Tours demonstrate the steps: drying, grading by floating, hand-peeling the red aril (mace), and bagging for export. The visit costs about US$1-2. Gouyave is known as the 'Fish Capital of Grenada,' and its Fish Friday street market on Friday evenings offers grilled fish, seafood soup and live music. It is about a 40-minute drive from St. George's along the west coast road and can be combined with Dougaldston Estate and Concord Falls.
