Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) is a native of Moluccas in east Indonesia that is reported to have been introduced to Sri Lanka in the early nineteenth century. It is organically grown in the hill country of central Sri Lanka (Ceylon).
DRUERA markets Nutmeg in 4 oz and 16 oz pack sizes, which can be purchased online by clicking the arrow pointing down next to the pack size.
It's a spreading evergreen tree 15-20 m high. Flowers are generally unisexual, but bisexual flowers also occur. Occasional trees with male and female flowers are seen in plantations. Fruits are fleshy drupes. When ripe, they turn yellow and split into two halves, exposing purplish brown shiny seeds surrounded by a net-like red aril called Mace.
The nutmeg tree yields two spices: Nutmeg, which is the kernel of the seed, and mace, which is the net-like crimson-colored leathery outgrowth (aril) covering the shell of the seed.
The nutmeg was exceptional - bright, lively flavor. Not your standard wooden Connecticut nutmeg. I highly recommend DruEra products for quality and freshness.
