Nutmeg - [Myristica fragrans] The Nutmeg is an evergreen tree native to the Maluku Islands of Indonesia, but it is now grown also on Penang Island in Malaysia, in the Caribbean (particularly Grenada), in the southern state of Karela in India, and on the island of Zanzibar off the coast of Tanzania.
The tree produces both nutmeg and mace. Nutmeg is the seed from the tree and mace is a red covering that is over the seed. This partly accounts for the fact that the two are often used in the same types of recipes. The tree that produces these spices can grow up to 60 feet tall and take a full 7 years to bear fruit. A nutmeg tree can bear for up to 90 years, making the first 7 year investment worthwhile. Nutmeg is grown for its culinary and medicinal uses. There are many products that come from the nutmeg seed. Besides the spice used in the kitchen, essential oils and nutmeg butter can be made. The essential oils are used in perfumes and pharmaceuticals.
