Thanks Victoria! Fresh nutmeg juice is actually pretty easy to miss. I don't know of anywhere else outside of Penang island where they make it. And even on the island here, it's only available at a few shops.

It's more common to find nutmeg juice made into a dark syrup (the fruit processed by cooking), but the flavor doesn't compare to the freshly blended nutmeg fruit.

If you know anyone in Grenada, have them ship over a few nutmeg fruits for you to blend into a juice (in Penang, a sour plum is added to the drink too).

Thanks Tamara! That's exactly what we want to hear. That people are learning about the origins and stories all those different spice powders in their cupboard that they have never thought about before. We'll keep introducing more - galangal is next...

I use nutmeg quite often, but mostly in a blend with similar, compatible spices. I like it. I also like how in your posts I always see a different, natural and true side of a spice. Different than what we get here, which is mostly powdered stuff.
Betel nut-never heard of it, but it all sounds so flavorful and great :)
Love this story!
