What is nutmeg?

The nutmeg is the seed of the evergreen nutmeg tree Myristica fragrans. The coat of it carries the name mace, and both are in use as a spice. Orlandosidee® has both products for you, either individually or in combination.

The nutmeg is the seed of an apricot-like fruit that has a yellow color and white flesh. Inside it has a hard-core nut with a black-brown shell with a mantle surrounding it - the mace. Under the black-brown surface is the nut.

The Myristica fragrans is an evergreen plant with a height of 5 to 18 meters, carries its first yield at the age of eight years, and achieves the highest profit with 15 years. It originated in Indonesia and today also in South America, Africa, and tropical Asia.

The harvest

The Myristica fragrans bears fruits year-round, with the peak harvest occurring in June, July, and August. At the harvest, they collect the ripe fruits of the Myristica fragrans from the ground. During the next step, they peel and remove the pulp of the fruits. Furthermore, they pull off the seed coat, the mace and dry it separately. The black-brown nuts are dried on wooden shelves for 6 -8 weeks on grids until the seeds in the black-brown nut begin to rattle. Only now are the hard shells broken, and the nutmeg is born. At first, the brown nutmegs are still soft, but they continue to dry and become hard. A tree can yield up to 100 kg.

Its aroma

The nutmeg has a warm and spicy aroma, a sweet scent, and highly aromatic notes of camphor and cloves. Finely ground, the nutmeg refines its food.

Culinary use of nutmeg

The nut finely ground can season many dishes. It goes very well with light sauces or soups. Refine your mashed potatoes or cauliflower puree with nutmeg; it gives a wonderfully earthy note.

The aroma of it also blends well with egg, cheese, cabbage, pumpkin, fish, veal, lamb, seafood, mutton, sweet potatoes, as well as with chicken.

A component of many spice blends

The nutmeg is part of many different spice blends. Here you will find them among others in the following spice mixtures: Raz el HanoutTsireTabilCookiesColomboColorado Texas BBQ RubCariocaBerbere.
