Nutmeg & Mace
Technical Specifications & Sourcing Details
India's Western Ghats, particularly the rich agricultural belts of Kerala and Tamil Nadu, produce some of the world's highest volatile oil Nutmeg and Mace (Myristica fragrans). Our B2B sourcing platform directly connects international food manufacturers, spice grinders, and bulk importers with commercial, export-ready Indian processors and exporters. We simplify international procurement by pre-vetting supplier compliance, processing standards, and testing capabilities for global shipments.
Nutmeg & Mace Commercial Varieties & Grades
Nutmeg With Shell
India's Malabar and Western Ghats microclimates yield premium Nutmeg With Shell, renowned for superior preservation of aromatic volatile oils. Unlike decorticated kernels that face rapid lipid oxidation and ambient moisture uptake, the Whole Protected Kernel grade retains its robust pericarp shield, ensuring unmatched shelf stability during international maritime transit. Our platform streamlines global procurement by directly connecting industrial buyers with certified Indian processing hubs and exporters specialized in non-split, aflatoxin-controlled whole nutmeg.
Nutmeg Without Shell
India's Malabar and Western Ghats microclimates yield high-density Nutmeg Without Shell, separating whole, aromatic kernels into specialized sound or shriveled grades to meet exact industrial oil extraction and grinding benchmarks. Unlike in-shell nutmeg, these shelled kernels eliminate processing tare weight and allow direct optical and physical inspection for internal mould, volatile oil content, and moisture consistency. Our platform bridges international procurement teams with vetted Indian processors capable of executing laser sorting, ETO-free sterilization, and stringent mycotoxin management compliant with EU and FDA import protocols.
Red Mace (Javitri)
India, particularly the Western Ghats and Kerala belt, produces globally renowned Red Mace (Javitri)—the carefully dried, crimson-red reticulated aril enveloping the nutmeg kernel. Distinct from pale or mixed commercial grades, this Premium Aromatic Covering is prized for its high volatile oil concentration, intense sweet-warm flavor profile, and vibrant natural color retention. Our procurement matching platform connects international food processors, distillers, and spice distributors directly with vetted Indian spice processors capable of delivering export-ready consignments backed by comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA).
