The nutmeg tree is any of several species of trees in the genus Myristica. The nutmeg tree is important for two spices derived from its fruit: nutmeg and mace. Mace is the dried "lacy" reddish covering or aril of the seed, while nutmeg is the acual seed. Nutmeg seeds are egg-shaped, about 20-30 mm long and 15-18 mm wide, and weigh between 5-10 g when dried. This is the only tropical fruit that is the source of two different spices!
