I had no idea that's where mace and nutmeg come from, that's very cool.
An obligatory "the spice must flow"
@@Usernonworldaffair I mean the same plant, but yeah good to know it's cultivated in other places
"Spice must flow" is a fictional allegory to a hallucinogenic drug that allows space flight and commerce without which a fictional galactic empire would fail.
It has nothing to do with actual harvesting of actual spices. There is fantasy and there is reality.
It's common in every where in kerala india
The spice must flow!
*The British East India shipping Co. Has entered the chat*
Thank you to all the farmers around the world who produced food for everyone.❤
🤷
Yes ur sooo right 😊
❤️🙌🏽❤️
Your welcome dear❤
Yes absolutely. 🙌🏾🫶🏾
Nutmeg and mace is also found in Grenada, the Spice Island. It’s is an important part of most of the cuisine and it’s literally on the national flag 🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩
that's a good info :D. Nutmeg is native to my home country and it's unique that it's in another country flag. Sometimes what usual is significant to others
Yes I got a souvenir bowl of spices gifted from Grenada, that was the first time I heard of mace. Used in once in a stew I believe.
I used to own a Ford 🇬🇩 Grenada.
Yuuiioii
Grenada 🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩is one of the top nutmeg producers in the world ranking 7th google if you don’t believe me 🇬🇩😂😂😂
In German, nutmeg is called Muskatnuss (literally: "Muscat nut" - presumably named after the most exotic place known by medieval Germans) and mace, the mesh around the nut, is called Muskatblüte (Muscat blossom, due to its shape).
I find it humbling to watch these videos about the things of my everyday life. I have been taking for granted the nutmeg in my pie, not knowing where it came from or how hard it was to harvest or how much labor was involved in getting to my store in a little metal box.
I will appreciate my good fortune and the luxury of all of those good people's hard work.
Couldn't have said it better. And I love nutmeg. But I realize I have always taken it for granted. I shouldn't because it is a luxury and a lot of hard work was put into it.
K. Bet you’d discard this knowledge immediately. It doesn’t matter.
@@Novarcharesk It does matter. Every little bit matters.
@@grovermartin6874, you eat pie every day? That's a luxury.
@@nekkoskrilla6750 Haha, no. I just figured that would have more familiarity to more people.
The ants' documentary mentions the humans as the "aggressive pests".
😂
Lmaooo
😂
More like "tyrannical overlords"
Good thing we are the apex predator
In Jamaica 🇯🇲 we put mace and grated nutmeg in porridge. It's really Grenada's 🇬🇩 baby, though. They probably use it for other things.
I just commented this😊 but just seeing your comment 😊
But it’s not native to Grenada
My dad is from the Caribbean island Grenada. Grenada is known for its nutmeg and mace production.
In my mothers home, they had a lot of these trees which are very old and around 30 meters in height. I used to climb them and pick these fruits as the outer fruit has a special taste which can be eaten raw and also with some salt and chilly powder. Used to make pickles and wine from the fruit.
The mace and nutmeg are used for various medicinal applications and mostly used for cough remedies.
That's really cool. I love the fermentation process and wonder how they taste. You can also turn wine into vinegar.
Ok that would be one curious wine
What In the Caribbean the farmers discard the outer skin what do they use it for one the leading Caribbean island that is Grenada also produces nutmeg and never mentions of using the outer shell.
Im wondering if the mace is also a good relaxing agent the way nutmeg is? I have to keep that in mind, nutmeg in hot cider if fabulous, but not for the morning!
✨🥰✨
Where is your mother's home
Those red ants protect the crop, even from theives, birds and people.... Their nasty bite makes the neck breaking task of harvesting more challenging. The price is far less than the hardwork and risk involved.
I'm an antkeeper. I don't know exactly what species those ants were, but they were black. Ants don't protect crops unless they are an aggressive species and it's one of their primary sources of nectar, fructose or honeydew. Usually they will react if they are squished though.
The part where "pest" it's show footage of Weaver ant colony , weaver r casually very aggressive it's has no poison but it's ichy and painful especially when a colony of Weaver ant bite you. ..weaver ant also very quickly take over another trees and make nest on that , the leafs that was used for the base r often dry out and they will put more leafs together in that place ..
@evilgaming0077 they looked like black crazy ants imo. Also weaver ants (smaradigna) dont eat fruit but eat insects so they are know to inadvertently protect crops
@@evilgaming0077there were red ones too
@@evilgaming0077 these are curious red ants in southern India.. these ants take over certain species of plants for making their nests.. when they get threatened they deliver nasty suicidal bite and release a certain pheromones/smell which makes other ants go crazy and attack even more.. otherwise they are harmless protectors of fruits.
In Kerala we say it jadikka
And the seed is jadipathri
Dude me too
When I was sick, my mom plucked the jadikka and I think made a drink out of it?
It's been so long but I remember that it had very strong flavour
I was today years old when I learned that the black stuff is nutmeg 😭 I always wondered why my parents bought nutmeg. Seems like it's something common in Kerala so it makes sense.
I didn’t realize mace windu was still helping us out, real G🗿
I'd like to take a moment to thank all the farmers and farm workers that put their blood, sweat, and tears into sowing, growing, and harvesting all the various foods and other products that feed the world. You all are unsung heroes!
yes 🙏🙇
Also take a moment to consider that most of them are not paid fairly and many of them are victims of human trafficking
@@ypp0p such is the way of the world when its ran by greed and subterfuge.
@@ypp0p what you're complaining about is the governments... Even in the US farmers aren't paid fairly. The prices are fixed and controlled by the government. So if you really care about farmers getting paid properly, then help the farmers in your own backyard. She even said in the video that the farmers in India get 5x what the farmers in the US get for the same product... So if they aren't getting paid fairly, then that's likely a government problem in India. Human trafficking is also a government problem. Again in the case of the US, the government is actively facilitating human trafficking... 18 million people in the last 3 years...
I'm sure they really appreciate your RUclips comment. 😂 They don't even know this video exists, let alone that someone is thanking them. But whatever makes you feel like you're doing your part in the world. 🤷
Mace is 'Jayatree' and nutmeg is 'Jayphal' in Bengali.
We call it same in Marathi language (Maharashtra)
@@vinayakshinde3950Javitri la Marathi shabd Kay ahe?
Same in Hindi
Same in odia
Same here in Pakistan in urdu.
India is rich in spices, so blessed... Rich in resources ♥️... God bless India from the Philippines 🌹
Also rich in BO and sexual harassment towards women
❤❤❤
🙏thank you
But they are destroying their own resources so bad, just like resource rich China does, but more diplomatically I guess
And the red part is flammable. I was able to go to a plantation in Grenada it was amazing!
Correction: Kerala is a state not a city!
Love seeing 🐜 We grow a lot of fruits and watching the little industrious insects is fun especially the less aggressive black ones.
PS: I am from Uttarakhand and idk what is even happening in the comment section lol. Why so political always!
Yes, Kerala is a beautiful Indian state & good natures Good traditional foods.
But recently it has become more muslim populated that it doesn't feel any good to visit the place anymore
@@ninadg4722 Some people try to create what is not there. I visit here every year. Amazing places & culture
@@719SevenStaryeah but the climate is humid and hot throughout the year which sucks plus people are very ugly and look African
@@ninadg4722 being hateful does nothing to anyone why did you feel the need to ruin something wholesome
Fruit is very tasty. Can be pickled, salted, or eat raw with salt
What does it taste like?
@@paulagoeringer9466Yummy not in a sweet way but a spicy savoury way😊😊😊
@@paulagoeringer9466 It tastes a little astringent if I'm wording it right lol. I don't like it tho
Thank you to everyone who replied on its taste. My phone is a bit weird and doesn't let me reply directly sometimes.
I was just wondering about the fruit.. thanks:)
We boil the mace in cornmeal porridge in Jamaica 🇯🇲. Gives it a great flavor. Then we grate the nutmeg on top of the porridge before serving
We also use the mace when beating coca in the mortar. Spices up the chocolate rolls that we used to make chocolate tea
next to god are all farmers who work hard to provide food for mankind..
unlimited salutes to them with heartfull respect ....
I only figured out that vanilla beans comes from orchids.
Thank you, shorts.
Wut...
Better yet:
One specific orchid, manually pollinated
Most of the packages that contain the vanilla spice itself, or better yet, are just flavored with it, always show a white flower with dark "beans" sticking out of the middle. I'm just going to assume you never paid attention to those images.
@@laurentp8612 they hand pollinate because the natural pollination rate the orchid is so abysmally low
I didn’t know that! Thx. Now I know.
Before hurricane Ivan hit Grenada in 2004, it was the second largest exporter of nutmeg and mace. Indonesia was number one.
Very hardworking farmers
It is so beautiful.....while I was in Sri Lanka I stayed in a monastery in Kandi ...in the garden there was a huge tree with beautiful red fruits ...one morning some had fallen onto the ground .....there were mace enveloping nutmegs.....I used the flowers in my curry the same day and it was delicious 😋😋😋😋😋
This is a must have spice for every kitchen in India !!! We call it Jaifal ( the seed) and Javanti (the red flower), it is dried and stocked for a whole year.
True
javitri not javanti
In Bengali with call it Joyotri
In the Netherlands it is called 'foelie'.
"When removed, it reveals another alien spice, Nutmeg."
*You have TOWNSENDS attention*
😂 Love that show! He is not wrong. I started adding Nutmeg to more of my food and wow its a pop of undistinguished pazazz. I'm asked what my secret is ... now it's more than just a pinch of love! ❤
@@amandapenner3680So without trying to be mean. You are suprised that spices exist and make the food better? Nutmeg is just where spices beginn.
Fresgly ground nutmeg is amazing to look at and other worldly!
@@Reilophonix Nah, they're specifically talking about trying nutmeg out in more foods. (Usually, it's only in holiday foods these days, but in the 1600s - 1700s it was a very commonly used spice)
@@Reilophonix that’s not what was said at all 😂

from Kerala, almost all houses w land have nutmeg trees, or rubber. I go looking for nutmeg everyday 2 days, honestly ive never felt it to be too laborious cause the nutmeg just falls off the tree and all you gotta do is remove the pathri or maze and dry it for few days, sell! They nutmeg and the maze have medicinal values as well. Also Kerala is a whole ass state not a city lol.
ass as in donkey?
😂
So these trees are nutmeg trees, ie rubber trees? Can rubber be harvested from them as well? Or just the fruit and spices?
Btw, that sounds wonderful having this in your backyard:)❤
@@PiXie232 oh sorry no, rubber trees are different, what I meant is rubber and nutmeg trees are very common here in Kerala. For the rubber trees you collect this sticky white paste that comes out of its trunk, make it into a sheet and then sell it.
To Kerala with love, thanks for your patience and kind sharing of your experiences! I apologize for my lack of knowledge, I’m only 85 years old and want to continue my education, in preparation for my FINAL EXAM, if you know what I mean. It must have been wonderful climbing in those trees! Tell me, I assume they must flower in their season, what color are they and are they fragrant? If you choose to not respond, it’s ok, I won’t bother you. I just am amazed that the world truly is coming closer together throughout my lifetime. There was only one telephone with a four digit number for an entire family. Now I have seen two year old babes with a phone of their own! Perhaps they are discarded ones?
I am suddenly struck with how odd it is that I consider nutmeg a Christmas spice when it comes from such a warm climate (eggnog with nutmeg of course). The cultural development around foods and international trade access really impacts how we think about food in our daily life.
Well you can thank your thieving ancestors for that 🤣
1. Some cultural development is wrong.
2. Do the right thing not the white thing

@@BlackSakura33
That's not called theft, that's called legitimate expansion practiced by literally EVERYONE including these Indian states themselves until the ww2.
@@ultron3693Agreed. It's called commerce and trade. The end customers are what give these things value. Everyone is better off cooperating rather than living in splendid isolation with no market for these wonderful products.
You will be even more surprised when you know why people even celebrate Christmas
Thanks to all hardworking and patient farmers 😊
In our kerala, this tree will be planted in most of the houses. Not only this, but also cardomom, cloves, pepper are available mostly with us.
Yes, crrct.
Mace is an important ingredient in Moroccan cuisine especially wedding chicken
WEDDING CHICKEN!?!?
@@i-yell-a-lot4906what yall don't marry chickens?
@@i-yell-a-lot4906: Yes. ‘ Wedding Chicken’ is a recipe prepared for special occasions. Of course it may be prepared anytime one wishes. By the way, are your ‘Hot Dogs’ really animals.
@@e.conboy4286 yes I believe their hot dogs once were animals as is true with any other meat product lol
@e.conboy4286 Though plentiful, the North American hot dog has a hard time surviving in the wild due to their lack of eyes. This makes it easy for predators to simply approach for a quick and easy meal.
It is for this reason the domesticated hot dog population in the US far outstrips those living in the wild.
Hot dog populations in Yosemite were plummeting for years due to overhunting until the species was reintroduced into the ecosystem. Now the Yosemite population is thriving.
We have a nutmeg tree in the backyard in Jamaica, use to hate mace taste awful when you bite down on it in a bowl of porridge/cereal.
You are eating it wrong… grind little bit of mace along with pepper, cinnamon, bay leaves ,cloves…all together…use this spice mixture to marinate meats…& cook the meat..
You can also add chillies & coriander seeds to grinding mix
We don't have cloves, coriander or chillies in jamaica . Unless we go to special supermarkets to buy them. 😊
We have other seasonings n spices though
Most precious thing is plant, ☘️ wood, They produce food, for every living beings Thanks 🙏 to Our Hard working Farmer's ❤🎉
This mace fruit is called 'sadikka' here in Sri Lanka. Not just mace and nutmeg, you can also eat the fruit flesh although it's a lot tangy and sour.
This fruit is called ' jadikka' in Kerala 😅
The Nutmeg originated from the Spice Islands (the Moluccans) Indonesia former Dutch colony.
And we called it PALA.

One of Grenada's spice.🇬🇩🇬🇩
Growing up in Jamaica, We had a big nutmeg tree in our yard.🖤🖤🖤
even now we buy with the maze on it 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲,
now you gotta ask what kind of scam theyre pulling on the poor farmers for it to cost so little in US
Exactly!!!
Easy, they pay illegal immigrants less than minimum wage. Why do you think groups of people fight so hard for keeping immigration laws strict? Because they love their slave labor.
More like, what scam are they pulling on the Americans. The companies in the United States don't care about their consumers.
Then you also have to think about how much a kilogram is and how long that lasts one person on average
I think what they mean is mace grown in the US is only $9 per kilo not that it's being sold to the US for that price.
She says the ones sold in America is cheaper!!.same goes for saffron and blue cinnamon depending where it comes from and the soil including no pesticides used and no machineries used so that is the reason it is 5 times expensive...
Of all the riches we benefit from due to our ancestors work, I appreciate the work done to find all of the wonderful spices which we have plentiful access to nowadays.
Thank you to those who discovered these amazing spices, thank you to these wonderful farmers who harvest these tricky fruits.
in India kerala pollachi its name was jaay patri jaayi kaayi
Another fun fact. Both cilantro and coriander come from the the Coriandrum sativum plant. Cilantro is the leaves and coriander the seeds. At least here in the US
In the UK coriander covers it all
Same in Germany, we just call one coriander leaves and the other coriander seeds lol
Coriander, cilantro and dhanya are all the same thing
My mother in law grew coriander in her garden in Kent. It produced great coriander seed too. It was a hot summer.
Dhanya is a word from Cape Malay ,people my grandfather delivered veggies to introduce him to various recipes,and he was a cape german
To give a shout out to my fellow West Indians, the Grenadians, per Google:
"Indonesia is the largest world producer of nutmeg and mace and accounts for three-quarters of world production and export. Grenada is the second largest producer and exporter. Their products are classified broadly as East Indian and West Indian, respectively."
Wow..thanks for the educational bit ...

Business Insider is very interesting
Learned alot from this channel
Thank you for your hard work
Those little ants look mean af look how much energy they have
The best nutmeg and mace comes from Grenada in the W.I. its actually on their flag and its the reason its known as the spice island.
I have been to St George, Grenada west indies ( Caribbean island ) my best friend lives there.
A small tiny island which produce nutmeg.
I am from Indonesia
@@munajammunajam3169 it's my favourite island in the W.I it's so full of old world charm and fabulous people. My best friend parents are from St George we go every year for carnival and to visit family.
I work at a spice warehouse and love these videos.
God is good and generous to his creatures. We really thank him.
Well, I certainly am thankful for the work they put into it.
I never realized how labor-intensive, time intensive, and ultimately beautiful nutmeg/mace are!
Should have told us-it has a mild orangey taste. Very useful in baking.
Mace! I love this, every good dish needs this ^^
Thank you to all farmers of the world ❤
THE SPICE MELANGE!!!!
Dude! We see what y did there! Dune Dude! Wait, let's see the Whites of your eyes...😂
Yes ma’am that is Grenada 🇬🇩 main export
Wow. I never knew thank you thank you thank you. For sure your intelligence. And educating us for free. I love you for it forever.💜💜💜
"pickers have to deal with aggressive pests"
*Shows video of ants*
I never saw this before that red colour flower like thing, but i ve seen that nutmeg but i am totally amazed that it was cultivated in my town 😂 i have to explore my own area first
I always thought mace was just another name for nutmeg. I didn't know they were different things. 😮
Best spice for old fashioned doughnuts ❤
Salute to the people that bring this wonderful gift to the world ❤
Yes, the mace plant, also known as "Myristica fragrans," is the source of the spice mace, which is derived from the aril (the bright red covering) of the nutmeg seed. However, when people refer to "mace" in the context of pepper spray, they are usually referring to a different substance.
Pepper spray, commonly used for self-defense and law enforcement purposes, contains an active ingredient called oleoresin capsicum (OC), which is derived from chili peppers. OC is the chemical compound responsible for the spicy or hot sensation when chili peppers are consumed. It is extracted from the fruits of chili pepper plants, primarily from species in the genus Capsicum.
Sure, born on the spice 🏝 🇬🇩. Makes you feel proud.
What's the "fruit" called, that yields both mace and nutmeg?
Nutmeg
Mace nut
Had the same question. Hope someone answers.
In Malayalam, Jāthikka (Jāthi is the tree and its fruit is called Kāy so Jāthi + Kāy = Jāthikka) and the red spice layer is called Jāthi pathri.
Myristica Fragrans.
Appreciate those workers ❤
The spice must flow!

The first time i know of this is in 1990 in St. David's, Grenada 🇬🇩
Thank you workers!❤❤❤
Nutmeg was the first thing to be 'worth its weight in gold'.
In the 1600s, England and the Netherlands fought a whole-ass war over the one small island in Indonesia where nutmeg grew naturally. Eventually they came to an agreement: England would not try to take the island, in return for a New World colony - New Amsterdam.
The territory was renamed: New York.
The Dutch were still there, speaking their own language. One of the early US presidents, van Buren, spoke Dutch at home.
Names like Stuyvesant, van der Bilt, Haarlem and Flushing (Vlissingen) are still around today. And of course Sint. Claas became Santa Clause.
I'm german we believe in sint class and also got nutmeg cookies nutmeg and cinnamon actually and that was a good gift to me
They are also so hard to grow and cultivate
Iam also from the place where they cultivate not in larg3 but small quantities in an village of kanyakumari
Much respect for their work 🙏🏾
Grenada 🇬🇩 is the Caribbean island 🏝 of spice.
ants!!!
Yeah, those are ants
Good way to tell they aren’t using pesticides. Seeing ants on the fruit is a very good thing
Better than pesticides
definitely go for food that attracts insects instead of repelling them!!
I can’t tell if you’re disgusted by ants or excited to see ants
Certainly, I frequently utilize it. In Hindi, we refer to this spice as Javitri (जावित्री) in Uttar Pradesh.
@TheTime1sNow
Your information is great I would love to someday learn more about it directly as a lot of the small fine details holds great value.
Amazing Info, thanks for sharing this!
I wish these folks got the profits directly and weren't forced to do labor to enrich others
We in Jamaica sell the nutmeg with the mace. We usually discard the mace to be honest
Damn.. you guys should get into the mace market soon. What a waste
Sounds like you have discovered a marketing opportunity. 😉
Same in French West Indies😅
My favorite favorite spice 🙏 And yes, thank you whom the farmers
Got to know somethng new..woww...thnk you so much...
Mace is used in traditional dutch chicken soup! Not always easy to get here, but it has an amazing flavour.
It is? I have never used it in my life 😅 One of the few spices I have never used and I've also never seen any dutch person use it. As you said, not common to get
Hoe heet het dan ?
Edit: blijkbaar is dit Foelie … wel van gehoord nog nooit gebruikt of geproefd .. toch maar eens proberen…
Thank you to these beautiful people who do amazing jobs like this for people all around the world to have amazing spice!!
It is also a dissociative hallucinogen, not to be taken lightly. Look up the stories of nutmeg trips
You are right mace is banned in some Asean countries and so is poppy seeds...give you an unnatural high...
@@jacquuelinesimpson191I'm not sure about mace but nutmeg will also make you trip out if you use too much
The most dangerous thing is that it takes many hours to take effect. People often keep taking more and more thinking it's not working. Then eight hours later you'll feel absolutely out of your gourd in not a good way.
dangerous because most ppl don't know the proper dosagee and often redose out of impatience....

get better drugs y'all.

We call it as jaathipathri in tamilnadu pollaachi its not Kerala we use this in biriyani it adds flavour and good aroma ❤❤❤
In America mace has been dropped from buttermilk doughnuts. Most of America didnt even notice. If you EVER have a chance to experience a real Buttermilk with its spice intact, you will never have "Blind" tastebuds again.
I was today years old when I learned of this spice.
