Nutmeg is the seed of the fruit of the Myristica fragrans tree. It has a slightly sweet unique taste and aroma. Similar to mace, it is mostly used in baked items, such as cakes, puddings, and cookies. Also, it is used in soups, meat curries, and vegetable curries. And nutmeg is an ingredient of grama masala. It is also used to manufacture essential oils, which then is used in toothpaste and some medicines.
Turmeric is a member of the ginger family but has many differences compared to ginger. Turmeric is a permanent member of every Sri Lankan house’s spice shelf. It is responsible for giving a yellow color to curries and adding so much flavor and nutrients. It has a unique flavor, somewhat similar to pepper flavor, and the aroma is very pleasing. A must-have item if you are cooking an Asian dish.
Don’t be surprised, but black and white pepper are all coming from the same plant. The Piper nigrum vine is the maker of these two kinds of peppers. White pepper is processed by picking only fully ripen peppercorns and soaking them in water. By soaking, the outer skin of the peppercorn is removed. So when it dries, it won’t become black. Compared to black pepper, it has a very low heat level. If you are a person who doesn’t like spicy food but loves the pepper taste, Spicehub Ceylon likes to satisfy your cravings.
