Quality Spices Organic Ceylon NUTMEG Whole With Shell

Nutmeg is one of two spices that grow on an evergreen tree with the scientific classification meristic fragrance, also known as common nutmeg. 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. It is not commonly grown in the Caribbean, other tropical areas of the world, and in Southern India, in the state of Kerala.

The tree is also highly valued because of the essential oils that are derived from the tree and leaves, and nutmeg butter is also a popular derivative food that packs a healthy punch. The essential oils from nutmeg extract are highly beneficial to health, and are frequently used in alternative and herbal medicine.
