#11 Zanzibar- 1 Spice Farm Tour

Posted by
kiwisa (North Shore, New Zealand) on 11 February 2019 in Plant & Nature.

On our way up north we had booked a Spice Tour. It was so interesting to see the source of all those beautiful flavours enjoyed over a lifetime. These fruit are nicknamed "lipstick plant" which our tour guide demonstrated how to use....see tomorrows ST photo:)

@By Marie: It was not an 'eating' plant, just used for colour I believe.

just spotted that you have a close up of this. I recognise it now. It's also known as achiote or annato, Bixa orellana, a species from the americas.
