Moscada

Moscada | Nutmeg | Myristica fragrans

Moscada is the Spanish name for Nutmeg or Jaifal (Myristica fragrans). It comes from a dark-leaved evergreen tree cultivated for two spices derived from its fruit: nutmeg or Moscada, from its seed, and mace from the seed covering or arillus.
Moscada is not a nut, but the kernel of an apricot-like fruit. Mace is an arillus, a thin leathery tissue between the stone & the pulp; it is bright red to purple when harvested and turns amber when dried.
Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India are the main producers of Moscada.
