The nutmeg tree is special in that it produces two separate spices, nutmeg and
mace. The nutmeg is the kernel of an apricot-like fruit.
Nutmeg has long been credited with magical powers. One sixteenth century
monk advised young men to carry vials of nutmeg oil and anoint their genitals
for virility. Tucking a nutmeg into the left armpit before attending a
social event was believed to attract admirers.
Nutmegs were often used as amulets to protect against a wide variety of dangers
and evils — from boils to rheumatism to broken bones and other
misfortunes. In the Middle Ages even carved wooden imitation were sold in
the streets. People carried nutmegs everywhere and many wore little
graters made of silver, ivory or wood with a compartment for the nuts.
