                                Originating from the Banda Islands of Indonesia, the nutmeg tree produces a spice so valuable it was once exchanged for the island of Manhattan. Nutmeg powder in English is simply the ground seed of this same tree (*Myristica fragrans*), cherished for its warm, sweet, and nutty flavor.
