Nutmeg is a great classic in our cuisine. When we speak of botany nutmeg is the albumem of the seed of the nutmeg fruit. The nutmeg tree is a tree which grows in the tropics and which belongs to the family of myristicaceae and this tree can reach 15 meters.
This spice is found in tropical latitudes such as in Indonesia, India, China and Brazil.
Nutmeg is a spice that we will often use for its characteristic fragrance and taste that it will give to cooking.
The nutmeg is the fruit of the nutmeg tree which is made up of several parts:
- Core
- Nutmeg
- Hard shell
- Pericarp mace
Mace is very little used in cooking these days. Yet it has a very special flavor.
Did you know: When you visit a nutmeg plantation, first of all it is the intense nutmeg smell transmitted by this tree, you will see a small fruit like a green lemon which is more or less 5cm diameter.
It is the fruit when it is mature, the fruit will turn yellow and split in two to release its shell and mace.
This spice is used today almost everywhere in aromatherapy, as in essential oil, perfume and cooking.
A small thing to conclude it takes about two months to dry the nutmeg.
