For many of us, Christmas foods like apple and pumpkin pies, custards, cookies, spice cakes, and eggnog are synonymous with nutmeg spice. Nutmeg, the seed kernel found within the fruit of a huge evergreen tree, has a warm, sweet, nutty taste as well as a pleasant, fragrant smell. Additionally delicious with spaghetti and cooked veggies is nutmeg.
During the Middle Ages, the Banda Islands in modern-day Indonesia were the only place on earth where nutmeg and mace were grown. The location of this valuable spice’s source was a closely-kept secret for hundreds of years by the Arab traders who supplied spices to Venetian merchants. For a very long time, people believed that nutmeg had mystical properties that might improve virility, attractiveness, or popularity.
