- Nutmeg and mace are two separate spices found in the same fruit. Both have long been valued for their fragrance, flavor, and medicinal properties. India is the lead consumer of nutmeg as well as one of the top global suppliers.
One Indian town, Pollachi, has found ways to create some of the best-quality mace and nutmeg while effectively cutting out middlemen and selling directly to buyers. A kilogram of its mace sells for around $50 - more costly than mace from India's lead producer, Kerala, which sells for $35 per kilogram, and the US, at $9 per kilogram. So what makes Pollachi's nutmeg and mace so special? And why are they so expensive?

Loved this video.
Good research and i got to know an entirely new story through it. Congrats to the team for the amazing work. I never knew mace and nutmeg come from same fruit while knowing these two since my childhood whenever maa cooks biriyani or tehari!
Super cool video, the mace looks so strange and alien
The red mace mostly using for dum biryani in tamilnadu. it gives a amazing taste for biriyani.
these spices are used to cook kosha mangsho in Bengal.
The Kerala people come for Pollachi variety is not that true rather Kerala has it's own varieties which are sourced by other states like Kerala sree and Vishwa sree developed by ICAR IISR Kerala which produces spices equivalent to 36,000 rupees on average from a single tree in a year over 15-20 kgs of produce. Now, price depends upon your selling source whether online, offline or export

Their product is expensive because they haven't modernized. They depend on labor instead of automation. That is why they are dirt poor and, in the words of Radiohead, they did it to themselves.
