This spice was introduced into India at end of the 19th century by the British. Nutmeg is a spreading, evergreen tree. It is a unisexual tree and is quite unique in that it bears two distinctive products - Nutmeg, which is the kernel of the seed, and Mace, which is the dried aril that surrounds the single seed within the fruit. The color is grayish brown, the furrows sometimes white because of lining.
Nutmeg has a warm, sweet and aromatic flavor. Well grown in moist, fertile soil like that of Kerala. The major producer of nutmeg and mace is Kerala. The rest of the production is from Karnataka.
Nutmeg and mace are used in soups and in egg, fish chicken, cheese, root vegetable dishes. They are also used in bakery items like biscuits, cookies, puddings, pastries, fruit salads, milk drinks etc. The oily forms of nutmeg and mace are used in meat seasonings, soft drinks and pharmaceuticals which includes cough mixtures.
