All About Nutmeg & Mace
Myristica fragrans
Plant Family: Myristicaceae
Origin: Native to the Banda Islands in the Moluccas (or Spice Islands) of Indonesia.
- Nutmeg is the seed, and Mace is the aril that covers it.
- Nutmeg grows inside a Drupe that splits open and reveals the Aril around the seed. The Aril is removed (mace) and them the seed is split open to reveal the actual nutmeg.
- Nutmeg is not a nut and does not pose a risk to people with nut allergies.
- Around the early 1600's nutmeg became an expensive in demand spice in Europe and was the root of conflict that pitted the Portuguese and the Dutch (who controlled trade ) against the English and French who wanted to obtain fertile seeds for transplantation.
- Because of this the nutmeg trees and seeds were closely guarded and those sold whole were dipped in lime to prevent them from being planted elsewhere.
- Nutmeg and Mace are used everywhere in Savoury and sweet dishes. It’s sprinkled on veggies, put in haggis and pumpkin pie.
- Whole nuts are preferable to ground nutmeg, as flavour deteriorates quickly. Whole nuts will keep indefinitely and can be grated as required.
- Mace works especially well with milk dishes like custards and cream sauces.
- It enhances and accentuates other spices.
- Mashed potato and other root vegetables can be given an incredible lift with nutmeg.

Nutmeg jam is made from the fruit, and tastes a lot like cola. It's pretty great!

[@scottclay4253]

Thanks you, Glen! Well done, much info in tiny space in time.

If anyone is interested in the history of Nutmeg and the spice trade (and piracy) that developed around it, which eventually led to the rise of venture capitalism; I would suggest reading the book 'Nathaniel's Nutmeg' by Giles Milton. It was a very enjoyable book for a part of history that I knew nothing of.

Nutmeg can get you high too. Too much will kill you though.

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

So will too much water, or to many green peppers... Too much of anything will kill you.

[@themodsify]

@GlenAndFriendsCooking this is true. I'm talking about around 2 teaspoons though.
