Description
Happiest Harvest’s organic nutmeg is harvested from the evergreen nutmeg plants in South India that also give us another spice, mace. After the fruit on the tree ripens, it splits open to reveal the nutmeg kernel. The kernels are then sun dried for several days or even weeks, before being cracked open. Happiest Harvest’s organic nutmeg is piney, spicy, sweet, and slightly bitter or nutty.
