 About Jathikai (Nutmeg):-

The nutmeg tree is a big plant that grows well in warm places. It can grow to 50-60 feet tall and gives us nutmeg and mace. The nutmeg fruit is like an apricot and has a hard seed inside, known as nutmeg spice. The seed is covered by red arils called mace. Both spices have a warm, sweet taste. The tree produces spices three times a year. After harvesting, the outer husk is removed, revealing the mace. The mace is taken off, dried, and sold as strips or powder.
