Nutmeg
Botanical Name: MyristicaAbout Nutmeg – The Warm & Aromatic Spice
Nutmeg, a warm and aromatic spice, is derived from the seed of the evergreen nutmeg tree native to tropical regions of the Western Ghats in southern India. Our nutmeg is organically cultivated in the fertile, well-drained soils of Kerala, where the humid climate and gentle rainfall support slow, natural growth.
The nutmeg fruit yields a hard seed encased within a fleshy outer layer, along with its delicate covering known as mace. Our nutmeg is carefully harvested at full maturity and traditionally processed to retain its natural oils, rich brown color, and intense aroma.

💡 Storage & Usage Tips:
Store whole nutmeg in an airtight container away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight to preserve freshness and aroma. Whole nutmeg retains its essential oils much longer than ground nutmeg. For best results, grate nutmeg fresh just before use to enjoy its full flavor and fragrance.
