Description
DukkiKart’s Nutmeg (Jathikka) comes straight from Idukki’s evergreen forests, where farmers handpick ripe nutmeg fruits and carefully dry the kernels to preserve their rich oils and aroma. Nutmeg is more than a baking spice—it enhances everything from Indian sweets, biryanis, kormas, gravies, kheers, masala chai, to fusion desserts like cakes and custards. Beyond its culinary charm, Nutmeg is a time-honored ingredient in Ayurveda, used to aid digestion, improve sleep, and uplift mood.
For modern Indian kitchens, Nutmeg brings versatility: sprinkle it on coffee, add it to smoothies, or blend into festive curries. It’s a spice that bridges heritage and innovation.

Additional Information / History
Nutmeg is one of the most prized spices of Kerala’s spice trade legacy. Once considered a luxury spice in medieval Europe, it was valued as much as gold. Today, Idukki remains one of India’s finest sources of premium Nutmeg. Its companion spice, Mace (Jathi Pathri), comes from the same fruit, making Nutmeg a true treasure of Kerala’s spice heritage.
By choosing DukkiKart Nutmeg, you add not just flavor but also centuries of tradition and wellness to your cooking.
