Whole Nutmegs Grade A

Description

Latin Name : Myristica Fragrans

Origin Country: Indonesia

Nutmeg is one of two spices that grow on an evergreen tree, with the scientific classification Myristica fragrans, also known as common nutmeg. In India, nutmeg is known as Jaiphal. It is native to islands near Indonesia but is now a globally used spice. These trees bear nutmeg, which is the seed of the tree, as well as mace, a less common spice derived from the dried reddish shell of the seed. This is the only tree which is the source of two distinct spices in the world.

Nutmeg is a delicate, slightly sweet spice that is widely used in cuisines around the world.​​​​​​​ In cooking, only small quantities – such as a little grating or a pinch of the ground powder – are used to make soups, meat gravies, beef stew, steaks, roulades, and even desserts.
