Nutmeg is a spice from the seed of the nutmeg tree (Myristica fragrant), a native Indonesian evergreen tree in Banda Island, cultivated for two spices derived from its fruit : nutmeg from its seed, and mace from the seed covering. To make nutmeg as a spice, the nutmeg seeds are dried gradually in the sun over a period of six to eight weeks. During this time, the nutmeg shrinks away from its hard seed coat. The spice is ready when the kernels rattle in their shells when shaken, then the nutmeg is separated from the outer coat(the mace).  Available in the form : Whole, Ground General specification 1.
