Something you can make with nutmeg
Origin
Nutmeg is derived from the seeds of the Myristica fragrans tree, which is native to the Banda Islands in Indonesia. These islands, also known as the Spice Islands, were the primary source of nutmeg in ancient times and were highly sought after by European traders during the spice trade era. Today, nutmeg is grown in various tropical regions around the world, including Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, and Grenada.
