Grown in the warm hills of Idukki

Idukki is warm and humid, which suits the nutmeg tree. The tree gives two spices: the seed, which is nutmeg, and the red lace around it, which is mace.

Questions

How much should I grate?

A pinch, about a quarter teaspoon, is enough for most dishes. Nutmeg is strong.

How do I grate it?

Use a fine grater or microplane and grate straight into the dish.

What is the difference between nutmeg and mace?

Both come from the same fruit. Nutmeg is the seed, mace is the lacy red coating around it. Mace is more delicate.

How long will it keep?

The best-before date is printed on the jar. Keep the lid closed, in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat.

What is jaiphal in English?

Nutmeg: the seed of the Myristica fragrans fruit. Mace (javitri) is the red coating around the same seed.
