Jaiphal (Nutmeg) is the dried seed of the Myristica fragrans tree, native to Indonesia and now grown in tropical climates. The seed is brown, oval, and wrapped in a red, lace-like covering called mace. Nutmeg is known for its warm, spicy scent and is used in cooking, incense, and fragrance blends. It naturally contains aromatic oils like myristicin and safrole, which give it its bold flavor and aroma.
