Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) is native to the Molucca Islands (Spice Islands), and is also grown in the West Indies. It is the dried seed of an apricot-like fruit of an evergreen tree, which bears for more than fifty years. Wrapped in the mace skin, the nutmeg is actually the dried oval shaped seed found inside the dark brown nut. It has a sweet, aromatic and slightly nutty aroma, and is sweeter in flavour compared to mace.
