Island-Hopping: Love nuts from the Seychelles

The Seychelles Islands, nearly a thousand miles off the eastern coast of Africa, are known for being a honeymoon hotspot. Part of the allure is a product of the Coco De Mer tree.

Conor Knighton visited the Seychelles, where a love of the love nut permeates island culture.
