The nutmeg tree can grow up to seventy feet tall: this tree produces a peach
look-alike fruit. This fruit is discarded for the seed. The nut, which is the
seed inside the fruit, has a red covering. The seed when dried becomes nutmeg
and the covering when dried becomes mace. Nutmeg has been used through history
in Chinese and Indian medicine.
