This is such an amazing documentary. I teach for a living and I would love to show this to my students as a way to understand the humanity of the spice trade. History and geography is so often dry, boring stuff, but then you see this and it reminds you that everything in history is real, that it happened to real people and that the effects of that history are still being felt today. It makes it feel real. Thank you for making this.

⁠​⁠@@WeirdExplorerI think something important that you missed is that the rise of the spice trade coincided with the rise of the sugar industry. Most of these spices were used in sweet porridges, drinks, and desserts. Portugal especially started sugar plantations on Madeira and the Cape Verde islands. This sugar plantation model was later spread to the Americas by the Portuguese and Spanish.

Man, that's awesome that the Bandanese people were able to maintain their own authority of their island. It's nice to see an example of an indigenous people able to continue being sovereign over their own land up until today. Just imagine if other indigenous populations around the world were able to fight off western/eastern powers in the same way.

Hey! What were you doing in my neck of the woods at 34:15 there? People flying to eastern Indonesia usually transit through Makassar, not Banjarmasin. For a moment, I got my hopes up, thinking you might have done a video in my hometown in the Indonesian province of South Kalimantan! 😆 Anyway, this is such a great video about the origin and history of nutmeg. It’s fascinating yet bittersweet because, sadly, most people today barely know about the Spice Islands (Maluku), unlike the old days when Western powers were fighting over them. As an Indonesian, I find it such a shame; not just because of the lost historical awareness but also because visiting these islands is still expensive and complicated, even for us. That’s unfortunate because Maluku is breathtakingly beautiful, with so much history waiting to be explored, from the old forts left behind by the Portuguese, Spanish, and Dutch to the local culture that has endured through the centuries. I really loved how you traced the Bandanese people’s journey all the way to the Kei Islands. That’s a perspective we don’t often hear about. And when you were in Malaysia, the nutmeg products you tried were great, but they leaned more toward the modern adaptations made by the ethnic Chinese community there. Discovering how the Bandanese people themselves use nutmeg in their cuisine? Now, that’s something truly special and unique. Cheers to your adventures! Looking forward to seeing where you take us next. Keep it up! 🍻

You're nuts for creating such a worthwhile video. What a treat! (After watching the video, I am glad you had such an awesome adventure. I'm sure some historians and other people would love to have done something like this. Like a 'once in a lifetime opportunity' that most humans don't/can't ever do! As someone interested and invested in history, this is such a valuable video. Not only cause it mentions stuff from 400 years ago, but because there is so much atmosphere/flavor/texture that is both modern and old. 'Time goes by but the fruit tree still stands...' or something like that.)

I'm glad to see that the Banda islands don't look too urbanized. After learning about how Madagascar is seeing massive deforestation, I was a tad worried that these islands might have had a lot of land cleared out because of the spice trade. It does help that because nutmeg comes from the fruit, there is a big incentive to *not* cut down the trees.

Amazing video. It deserves much more love. ❤ I didn't expect it to get so heavy but I knew it would once I saw the logo for the dutch east india company. Sadly colonization is still going on. From a descendant of colonized people it's important to preserve cultures and languages as much as possible, for future generations. I always admire indigenous people that despite all odds have managed to preserve their culture and native tongue. It's also important to not forget the history of these people, not just from the perspective of the colonizers.

I once visited Grenada on an adventure vacation, with the goal of experiencing a cacao farm and meeting a local chocolate producer. Walking down the road, I saw these large trees with split "peaches" that had dark red centers. Then I saw baskets full of, what I would later learn was mace, drying in the sun. I thought they looked like alien brains. What a cool plant....and now I know, not so cool history.

@@WeirdExplorer It's a surprisingly quick flight from NYC. You'd get a kick out of riding across the island on their "buses," which are really just vans that have been converted to have as many seats as possible. The people and culture are beautiful. I went to the Grenada Chocolate Company. The founder had a whole collection of youtube videos, and I was hoping to meet him, but it turned out he passed away after falling off a ladder. I learned that after arriving and asking if it was possible to meet him. But now the company is locally owned and operated, and you can taste the fresh chocolate as it comes out of the molds. It's the best chocolate I've ever had, and tasted like bananas. The streets around the farm and chocolate factory (really just a house) are lined with cocoa trees and nutmeg. Hopefully hurricane Beryl didn't decimate the area this past June.

I have a few things I want to comment on: 1) I had to spend a night in Newark airport once. It might or might not be the worst airport in the world, but it's the worst I've been through. There is hostile architecture inside the airport terminals, after security. Why? It's an airport, god forbid people be tired while traveling and want to lay down. The food prices are absolutely insane too. We're talking $15 for even a small self-checkout grab-and-go coldcut sandwich. 2) I'm enjoying the effort put into the interstitials. More of that, please. 3) The way you're pronouncing Melacca is funny to me because I know a bit of Greek and it sounds exactly like the common Greek insult μαλακα (malaka) 4) I appreciate that you're teaching the untold history here. That's the sort of thing I'm always eager to hear more about.

Great production, and an interesting little documentary on the spice we all take for granted. The last name (i.e. surname) of Jan Pieterszoon (Pieterszoon was his middle name, by the way) rang a bell: it is worded similarly to another familiar surname; the difference is that the h is in omission. So, I've been delving into the leading figureheads of the VOC, the Dutch East Indies Company: Jan Pieterszoon (Pieterszoon was his middle name) may not have been Dutch; Isaac de Pinto was not actually Portuguese (or, for that matter, Dutch). From what I've read, some of the wealthiest shareholders in the Dutch East Indies Company (VOC) were neither Portuguese or Dutch.

On nutmeg jam, I've seen it for sale quite often in London. Not from Indonesia but from Grenada where it was introduced.

Yeah! Grenada went a whole other direction with the fruit. Nutmeg sauce, syrup, hot sauce. I would love to visit one day.

Fun fact: nutmeg has psychotropic (and worse at higher doses) effects if you eat too much of it. Found this out the hard way when I made some wassail and dropped too many nutmeg seeds in the spice bag.

From a long time viewer here… this is absolutely fantastic. You researched it well, you poured your heart into the cinematography, the stop motion transition was such a fun small touch, everything about this just screams tender love and care about a passion project. You took something that most people wouldn’t have given a second thought to, and turned it into an important and enlightening conversation. Truly truly, kudos to you for putting this piece of art into the world for us all to enjoy. Thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to expand on your original video! This was sad, fascinating and important. I'm glad to know a fuller history of nutmeg.

I REALLY wish you'd pursued that angle at the end more. I went from thinking "basic content creator" to "potentially award winning" and "consequential for world history". I hope this draws attention to that issue. I like plants. That's why I clicked on it. But that would have been a beautiful surprise of a twist ending. If you're making documentaries, please don't be afraid to go where the story takes you. That's how the best stories are told.

Best documentary of a historical important spice plant I ever have seen. What a great job! Thank you so much. This documentary should become shown in schools.

This was such a cool direction for your content to go! I love exploring new foods withyou, but learning so much more about them and the context they have within our world brings SO much more.

You just earned yourself a new patreon member Jared. This is probably my most favourite video of yours so far. Its informative without getting boring. Its creative and passionate. Hopefully this video would lead to more videos like it in the future where you dive deep into the history of fruits and all.

thanks so much. It's the direction I'd like to go with the channel. takes a lot more work to do, but I'm hoping to get one or two out each year that are more history focused

Although Fort "Nassau" was being built by the Portuguese it was for sure - if not completed and used - at least named by the Dutch. "Nassau" is part of the Orange-Nassau branch that became then and till this day is the Royal Family of the Netherlands (and also Belgium). During the "Portuguese"/ Dutch war that you mention (Portugal was actually in personal union with Spain then and it was from Habsburg Spain (not Portugal per se) that the Dutch were fighting for independence), the Dutch also invaded the then Portuguese colony of Brazil in the Americas and Prince Maurice of Nassau was sent there as Governor General during the Dutch occupation. A "Fort Nassau" was built there. There's also another "Fort Nassau" in the Bahamas for the same reason. The Hudson River in NY was called "Mauritius River" by the Dutch and the name was also used for the island nation in the Indic Ocean with the same name. Congrats on this high quality, well edited and touching documentary. I love the whole fruit exploring/ contortionist side but here we were able to see even more of the human being/ part-time ethnologist. Congrats 🙏

Thank you for making this video. I learned crumbs about this story in university and i am happy that someone has taken the time and effort to highlight the history of the bandanese people themselves! This video is very important.

Fantastic production Jared. Love these longer-form segments. They remind me of the heyday of cable edutainment programming. Nat geo, discovery, the travel channel.
