Did You Know? Nutmeg, Myristica fragrans • Nutmeg is the seed of a tropical evergreen tree native to the Spice Islands of Indonesia. • The fleshy aril that surrounds the seed (the net-like red substance) is the source of the spice mace. • Botanically speaking, the nutmeg is a seed, not a tree nut and is not considered an allergen by those allergic to peanuts or tree nuts. • The large nutmeg seed is grated for use in a variety of sweet and savory foods, including baked goods, candy, puddings, meats, potatoes, vegetables, egg dishes, sauces. It pairs especially well with creamy sauces, cheese and egg based dishes. • Nutmeg is used in spiced beverages such as chai, eggnog and mulled wine as well sprinkled over flavored coffee drinks. • Spice blends from around the world include nutmeg, including curry and garam masala (Indian), pumpkin spice (United States), Advieh (a Persian mix), Quatre Epices (French), Jerk (Caribbean) and Ras el Hanout (North African). • Nutmeg seeds are dried gradually in the sun for six to eight weeks. • Nutmeg is sold as a whole seed or ground. When ground, nutmeg loses flavor quickly so is best purchased in small amounts or ground just prior to using. • Small nutmeg graters have a small space in the top to store the nut. This or the smallest blades of a box grater can be used to prepare nutmeg for use. • In very high amounts (exceeding culinary use), nutmeg is a hallucinogen and can be toxic. • The Dutch and the British fought over control of the nutmeg industry and the Spice Islands. The British lost and in exchange received a colony in North America. This colony was renamed New York. • Nutmeg was thought to have a variety of medicinal properties over the centuries. British physicians in the 1660s believed it to be a cure for the bubonic plague. • Nutmeg is one of the original flavorings in Coco-Cola. ©2019 by The Herb Society of America www.herbsociety.org 440-256-0514 9019 Kirtland Chardon Road, Kirtland, OH 44094.

Cooking Class Recipes
Omid Roustaei | www.thecaspianchef.com | www.instagram.com/thecaspianchef About Persian Cuisine Persian cuisine is one of the world’s great gastronomies, flourishing for centuries across an area that, at the height of the ancient Persian Empire (circa 550 to 330 B.C.), included modern-day Iran, along with parts of Iraq, Macedonia, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia. The repertoire of dishes is fragrant, diverse, and highly refined, based on complex culinary techniques. They are imbued with fresh flowers and herbs like rose petals, fenugreek, and mint; spices like saffron, sumac, and cardamom; fruits like pomegranate and barberry; all kinds of citrus; and nuts, including pistachios and almonds. If this roster of ingredients sounds familiar, it’s because Persian cooking has influenced Middle Eastern, Moroccan, Northern Indian, and Turkish cuisines yet itself remains somewhat below the radar. Typical Iranian main dishes are combinations of rice with meat (such as lamb, chicken, or fish), vegetables, and nuts. Fresh green herbs are frequently used, along with fruits such as plums, pomegranates, quinces, prunes, apricots, and raisins. Characteristic Iranian flavorings such as saffron, dried limes, cinnamon, turmeric, and fresh herbs are mixed and used in various dishes. The agriculture of Iran produces many fruits and vegetables. Thus, a bowl of fresh fruit is common on Iranian tables, and vegetables are standard sides to most meals. These are not only enjoyed fresh and ripe as desserts but are also combined with meat and form accompaniments to main dishes. When fresh fruits are not available, a large variety of dried fruits such as dates, figs, apricots, and peaches are used instead.

Performane and Competitiveness of Indonesian Nutmeg in Export Market
E3S Web of Conferences 232, 02018 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202123202018 IConARD 2020 Performane and Competitiveness of Indonesian Nutmeg in Export Market Helena Juliani Purba1,*, Eddy Supriadi Yusufi1, and Juni Hestina1 1 Indonesian Centre for Agricultural Socioeconomics and Policy Studies, Jl Tentera Pelajar No 3B, Bogor, West Java, Indonesia Abstract. Export is one source of foreign exchange earnings for the country. This study analyzes the competitiveness of Indonesian nutmeg in the world market. Measurement of competitiveness was conducted by looking at the comparative and competitive advantages nutmeg products in each of the main markets for export and comparison with competitors. The analytical method uses Revealed Comparative Advance (RCA) and Export Product Dynamic (EPD) in the period 2014-2018. The competitiveness analysis results show that nutmeg and nutmeg powder products have competitiveness in all export destination markets. Competitor countries, namely India, do not have competitiveness in the Dutch and Japanese markets. The nutmeg commodity has a competitive advantage with the trend and the share of exports that are still growing (fast-growing). However, nutmeg powder is no longer competitive in the export destination market. Active efforts to find new markets through market diversification while maintaining existing markets can be an option to increase Indonesian nutmeg exports. 1 Introduction Indonesia is one of the most reckoned nutmegs producing and exporting countries in the international world. Nutmeg (Myristica fragran haitt) is a spice plant that has a high economic value, especially the parts of nutmeg and flowers (mace), which can be used as nutmeg oil (oleum myristicae, oleum myrist or myristica oil).

Reconstructing the Basal Angiosperm Phylogeny: Evaluating Information Content of Mitochondrial Genes
55 (4) • November 2006: 837–856 Qiu & al. • Basal angiosperm phylogeny Reconstructing the basal angiosperm phylogeny: evaluating information content of mitochondrial genes Yin-Long Qiu1, Libo Li, Tory A. Hendry, Ruiqi Li, David W. Taylor, Michael J. Issa, Alexander J. Ronen, Mona L. Vekaria & Adam M. White 1Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, The University Herbarium, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-1048, U.S.A. [email protected] (author for correspondence). Three mitochondrial (atp1, matR, nad5), four chloroplast (atpB, matK, rbcL, rpoC2), and one nuclear (18S) genes from 162 seed plants, representing all major lineages of gymnosperms and angiosperms, were analyzed together in a supermatrix or in various partitions using likelihood and parsimony methods. The results show that Amborella + Nymphaeales together constitute the first diverging lineage of angiosperms, and that the topology of Amborella alone being sister to all other angiosperms likely represents a local long branch attrac- tion artifact. The monophyly of magnoliids, as well as sister relationships between Magnoliales and Laurales, and between Canellales and Piperales, are all strongly supported. The sister relationship to eudicots of Ceratophyllum is not strongly supported by this study; instead a placement of the genus with Chloranthaceae receives moderate support in the mitochondrial gene analyses. Relationships among magnoliids, monocots, and eudicots remain unresolved. Direct comparisons of analytic results from several data partitions with or without RNA editing sites show that in multigene analyses, RNA editing has no effect on well supported rela- tionships, but minor effect on weakly supported ones. Finally, comparisons of results from separate analyses of mitochondrial and chloroplast genes demonstrate that mitochondrial genes, with overall slower rates of sub- stitution than chloroplast genes, are informative phylogenetic markers, and are particularly suitable for resolv- ing deep relationships.
