Kerala is an amazingly prolific part of the world. Almost everything good seems to grow there....
We made a list part-way through our holiday of the spices (and other things) we had seen growing during our holiday
it was a long list
pepper, tea, ginger, curry, cinnamon, papaya, cocoa, sandalwood, turmeric, cardamom, coffee, tree tomatoes, chilli, aubergine, green beans, nutmeg, vanilla, rue, allspice, mahogany, clove, coconut, jackfruit, banana, coconut, pineapple, paddy (rice), tapioca, rubber
and we certainly didn't see everything growing which is produced there.
Truly a land of plenty, in some ways.
