Nutmeg is a tree native to the Maluku Islands, Indonesia, but it's also grown in Malaysia, on the Island of Penang. Apart of South East Asia, it grows also in Grenada, in Karela, India, and in Tanzania, on the island of Zanzibar. The Nutmeg that you find in North America comes mainly from Granada. The one sold in Europe comes mainly from Indonesia. |
Up to the first half of the 19th century, the 11 volcanic island's group of the Banda Islands, Indonesia which are also known under the name of "Spice Islands," was the only location in the world where Nutmeg was produced.
The Banda Islands are situated in the eastern part of Indonesia, in the province of Maluku, with an approximated area of 8,150 hectares surrounded by crystal waters of Banda Sea.
In the European medieval times, nutmeg was known as a costly spice used in cuisine as a flavoring, medicinal, and preservative agent.
During Elizabethan times, because nutmeg was believed to ward off the plague, its demand increased at a such rate that its price skyrocketed up to a 60.000% times its acquisition value in the far Indonesia.
