What to Look For — Choosing Your Nutmeg

01

100% Bore-Free Guarantee

Nutmeg weevils (Araecerus fasciculatus) bore deep cavities invisible from the outside; we conduct cut-testing and flotation checks to eliminate bored kernels.

02

Internal Mold Prevention (≤10% Moisture)

Hidden internal fungal mold develops with excess origin moisture; keeping moisture under 10% ensures internal stability during long sea transit.

03

Volatile Oil & Myristicin Potency (8%–15%)

High natural myristicin and volatile oil yield superior aroma and higher extraction efficiency per metric ton.

04

Kernel Size & Density Ratio

Bold, heavy kernels (5g–7.5g each) reflect sound biological maturity and contain dense, oil-rich centers.

05

Zero Chemical Polishing

Naturally sun-cured kernels, 100% free from lime washing, artificial waxes, or chemical glossing.
