Specification
Where it's grown
The original home of nutmeg, producing the benchmark quality the ABCD grading system is built around.
Indonesia's largest modern nutmeg-growing region by volume, feeding both export and domestic oleoresin demand.
Who buys it
ABCD-graded whole nutmeg for spice packers and retail spice brands.
Broken and lower-grade nutmeg plus mace supplied for extraction facilities.
Ground nutmeg and mace for bakery, sausage, and beverage producers.
Questions buyers ask
ABCD refers to the standard Indonesian export grading for whole nutmeg by size, soundness and defect count, with Grade A being the largest and cleanest and Grade D the smallest sound kernels.
Both. In-shell nutmeg has a longer shelf life for buyers who de-shell locally; shelled kernels are available for direct grinding or extraction.
Yes, mace is priced and sold separately as whole blades or broken mace, since it commands its own market and is used differently to the kernel.
