The Warm, Aromatic Seed of the Spice Islands

Discover the intoxicating aroma of whole Nutmeg, the aromatic seed of the Myristica fragrans tree. Originating from the enchanting Banda Islands of Indonesia, this gem has been a staple in medieval kitchens and ancient remedies for centuries. We source our nutmeg from the world's best origins, including the "Isle of Spice," Grenada, which is globally recognized for its deep and rich flavor.

The best quality nutmegs feel heavy for their size, an indicator of a dense seed with high essential oil content. Zaycca brings you this whole, potent spice, ready to be freshly grated for a burst of authentic flavor.

Health Benefits

Usage & Storage

Pro Tip: Always buy nutmeg whole. Grating it fresh just before use provides an unmatched burst of authentic flavor and aroma that pre-ground powders lack.

A little goes a long way; use sparingly as its flavor can be potent.

Use a fine grater or a specialized nutmeg mill for best results.

Storage: Store the whole nutmegs in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place. They can retain their potency for years.

Trivia

Nutmeg and Mace are "spice siblings" – Nutmeg is the inner seed of the fruit, while Mace is the lacy, red covering that surrounds it.

In the 17th century, nutmeg was so valuable that it sparked wars between European powers for control of the Banda Islands.

A single nutmeg tree produces both spices, a unique feature in the botanical world.
