NUTMEG

Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) is unique among spice plants, producing two distinct spices. The seed is dried, shelled and sold either whole or ground as the spice Nutmeg. The outer fleshy network is also dried and ground producing the spice know as Mace.

Nutmeg is one of the oldest spices, and along with pepper and cloves, it has been cultivated for over 1,000 years.

Connecticut is known as "The Nutmeg State" owing to the tradition that slick Yankee peddlers would sell whittled wooden "nutmegs" to unsuspecting housewives.
