What is nutmeg?

Native to Indonesia, nutmeg is a perennial plant whose fruit produces a hard grain covered with a membrane.

This grain is the spice that we use so much in the kitchen, which is enough to scrape and add to any dish to give it a subtle and pleasant flavor.

However, the most important part is its various health benefits.

The name nutmeg is of medieval origin, dating back to when, without knowing the antecedents of the spice, it was commonly called a nut with a musky smell.

The first mention of the plant dates back to the 1st century when Pliny the Elder in his writings spoke of a tree that had two distinct aromas: a spicy, spicy aroma and an aroma similar to a mixture of cinnamon and pepper.

Although it was widespread in Arab markets for centuries, it became more popular in the 16th century, becoming one of the most sought-after spices in Europe.

So much so, in fact, that it was the subject of bitter hostility among Western countries, which attempted to gain a trade monopoly.
