Zanzibar is popular as a spice island, as one of the largest producers of spices in the world! Cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and turmeric are just some spices Zanzibarians use in all kinds of food. If you get a chance to visit the islands of Zanzibar, it is very worthwhile to visit the spice farm to learn how to cultivate spice plants, their uses, and their health benefits for humans.
