The Plant:
Nutmeg is an evergreen tree native to the Banda Islands of Indonesia, historically one of the most prized and fought-over spices in the world. During the 16th and 17th centuries, nutmeg was so valuable that it was worth more than its weight in gold, driving European colonial expansion into the Spice Islands. The essential oil is steam distilled from the dried kernels of the fruit and has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for its digestive, circulatory and analgesic properties.
