Short Information:

The Nutmeg tree (Myristica fragrans) is a high-value tropical evergreen spice tree native to the Spice Islands (Maluku, Indonesia). It is unique in producing a Whole Nutmeg Fruit that yields two distinct spices: the seed and its vibrant red lacy covering known as mace. Upon reaching full maturity, the pale yellow Nutmeg Fruit husk splits naturally on the branch, revealing the dark nutmeg seed, covered in shiny red mace, which is later processed into a dried spice.

As a premium commodity in the global trade history, Nutmeg Fruit remains essential for the culinary, pharmaceutical, and essential oil industries. Its warm aroma and distinct sweet-spicy flavor make it a staple in international gourmet recipes.
