From ancient times, Nutmeg has been a highly prized spice for its numerous culinary and other applications. The fruits are fleshy and broad with longitudinal ridges along their circumference. During ripening, the fruit’s colour changes to yellow, and the pericarp is split into two halves exposing the seeds. The shiny seeds are covered by a red aril.
