Grenada is one of the largest exporters of nutmeg and mace. Their culture revolves around special meals for occasions like Christmas and Thanksgiving due to their limited meat consumption. Their language is a mixture of French and British English which influenced the US language. Popular music genres like reggae, calypso, and jazz blend African, Indian, French, and British influences and provide a way for self-expression, influencing music in the US. While agriculture and tourism are important to Grenada's economy, deforestation and erosion threaten tourism.
