Nutmeg powder is a spice made from the ground seed of the Myristica fragrans tree. The tree is a tropical evergreen native to the Banda Islands of Indonesia, but is now cultivated in other tropical regions such as Grenada and India. The spice is known for its warm, slightly sweet, and pungent flavor.

The nutmeg tree’s fruit produces two distinct spices:

Nutmeg: The seed kernel inside the fruit.
Mace: The lacy, red covering (aril) that surrounds the seed. Mace has a flavor similar to nutmeg, but it is more delicate.
