PURPOSE
WHAT IS IT?
Nutmeg (also known as pala in Indonesia), nutmeg is the seed of the tree, roughly egg-shaped and about 20 to 30 mm wide. The tree produces two different spices; Nutmeg and Mace. Although the two spices are similar, mace is the exterior of the fruit and not quite as popular as nutmeg which is used and loved globally.
