Nutmeg and mace are two separate spices found in the same fruit. Both have long been valued for their fragrance, flavor, and medicinal properties. India is the lead consumer of nutmeg as well as one of the top global suppliers.
One Indian town, Pollachi, has found ways to create some of the best-quality mace and nutmeg while effectively cutting out middlemen and selling directly to buyers. A kilogram of its mace sells for around $50 - more costly than mace from India's lead producer, Kerala, which sells for $35 per kilogram, and the US, at $9 per kilogram. So what makes Pollachi's nutmeg and mace so special? And why are they so expensive?

We call it Jaiphala or Jaabani in Odia. The 1st one is loaned from Sanskrit, since nutmeg is not native to Odisha at all and we dont use it in our traditional or religious dishes.

It was mostly popular in Kerala and Tamil Nadu provinces of India, since ancient times, apart from its native Indonesia, until it was popularized by the Portuguese in Europe and the world beyond.

very neat and sustainable. you literally see that its a good business for them; everything is clean, people are calm and healthy, theres no trash whatsoever and that plantation looks beautiful with the coconut palms. no pesticides either from what i could see, those ants eat all of them i suppose. sadly, climate change will get there too..

Climate change is and has always been constantly happening long before people got here. It is now used as a catalyst to destroy American infrastructure so the US can be taken over

To my knowledge nut meg trees don't require pesticides. Have never seen my grandma using it , she uses organic fertilizers though.

The farm bill was meant to remove the middle men, but when our own people are so brainwashed by external funding, what can be done, hopefully this changes

Best quality nutmeg is still produced in Kerala, it’s is organic and using less pesticides and chemicals. Growing area is same as forest environment. This is some kind of a promotion effect by Pollachi farmer

@abcddef2112 6 месяцев назад

Best nutmeg came from its original source in Maluku Islands, Indonesia.

💰💰 In Kerala farmers get on 3 USD for Nutmeg and 20 USD for the Maze (Red flower on top) per Kilogram, which is like too low. Farmers have to switch to alternatives following the low price of commodity. Most of it is Organic at the end where it is produced, because these trees are rarely affected by Pests. But once the product is sold to open market, they use lot of pesticides and fungicides too keep the product intact. Organic now becomes Inorganic. Agriculture sector in India requires a lot of changes, starting from pricing, production to preserving the produce 💸💸💸💰💰💰

Nutmeg is great when added with cinnamon to French toast.

My takeaway is that cheap nutmeg and maze is fungi infected. Yummi.

Now I get why my grandmothers are so obsessed with Paan. They are enjoying rare spices they appreciate like artistocrats whereas I just taste bitterness and something that is almost inedible.

These are not expensive these days. Initially it was treated as gold. In north india, these are easily available. But it can take away your life if consumed improperly. It has huge heating properties. So proper amount is to be taken.
