Additional flag context

Grenada is the only country whose flag shows a spice. The nutmeg in the hoist triangle reflects an industry that once supplied a large share of the world market.

The red border is unusual: very few national flags frame the whole design, and it makes Grenada instantly recognisable in a grid of Caribbean flags.

Seven stars appear in total — six around the border for the parishes, and one in a central disc for the dependency of Carriacou and Petite Martinique.
