Nutmeg and Mace

Nutmeg and Maces is the seed or ground spice of several species of the genus Myristica.

Myristica fragrans (fragrant nutmeg or true nutmeg) is a dark-leaved evergreen tree cultivated for two spices derived from its fruit: nutmeg, from its seed, and mace, from the seed covering. It is also a commercial source of an essential oil and nutmeg butter.
