Whole Nutmeg From Sri Lanka, the Fragrant Seed of Myristica Fragrans

There are many varieties of nutmeg, but the one true nutmeg is the seed from Myristica Fragrans, a dark-leaved evergreen tree. This whole nutmeg from Sri Lanka is not only as beautiful of the name of the tree it comes from, but it is also really something special in terms of fragrance and flavor. It's slightly sweet and mildly spicy and embraces a comforting flavor that lingers on the tongue. As a member of what is known as 'the sweet spice quartet'—nutmeg, , , and allspice—it carries a fragrance induced nostalgia for many. 

In its unsheathed form, the outer shell casing of the nutmeg seed is also what is known as the spice mace, or dried aril. Though don't worry our whole nutmeg from Sri Lanka has been fully undressed and is ready for grating in sauces, desserts, baked goods or many wonderful dishes.
