Trivia
[Hardcore] A spice world miracle where 'two spices, nutmeg and mace, are taken from one fruit'. If nutmeg handles heavy bass for 'erasing meat odor', mace handles the high-pitch part for 'noble glamorous aroma'.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Usage] Since aroma evaporates very easily, if using as powder, sprinkle at the very, very end of cooking, leaving a softer, more elegant afterglow in the mouth than nutmeg!
