2Tre Organics Whole Nutmeg with Mace offers two spices from a single source — Myristica fragrans — in one bag. The nutmeg is the inner seed, firm and richly aromatic. The mace is the vivid crimson-red aril that wraps around it, carrying a flavor similar to nutmeg but more delicate, floral, and slightly sweeter. Together they represent the full expression of one of the world's most prized spice trees.
Whole nutmeg has a distinctive warm fragrance and a complex, slightly sweet depth that translates across a remarkable range of culinary applications — meats, baked goods, cream sauces, sausages, roasted vegetables, and spiced beverages like eggnog, carrot juice, and mulled drinks. Nutmeg is prized by the fragrance and culinary industries alike for its distinctive aromatic oil content.
For best results, grate nutmeg whole directly into your dish rather than buying pre-ground — the difference in aroma and intensity is immediate. Use in moderation; nutmeg's flavor is powerful and a small amount goes a long way.
Storage: Store in an airtight container away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Avoid storing near the stove, dishwasher, or sink. Do not freeze. Whole nutmeg retains peak potency for up to 4 years under proper conditions.

I’m awaiting my Amazon order but have bought from this company before so unless it’s not fresh (in which then I call amazon and have it replaced) there shouldn’t be any issues.
First, get to know the anatomy! I read comments here of people trying to grind something that shouldn’t be ground!
Second, remove the mace blades (the colorful part) and keep it in its own spice jar (glass not plastic which is permeable) either while or grind it up.
Third, CRACK OPEN THE SHELL! OK sorry for the caps but the nutmeg meat is inside. It should fill up the whole shell and not rattle around that meat is what you grind, not the very hard shell that some have tried and then given a Negative review due to their misunderstanding.
Fourth, keep it whole until you want to use it it will stay fresher longer.
I have never ordered unprocessed nutmeg before so I didn't really know what to expect. I was not disappointed. I figured the photo was photoshoped to make it more colorful. Nope. That's the way they looked when I opened up the package. That red covering is "mace". It was not removed.
After taking the mace off I began filing the nut like I saw in a photo. After not making any progress with the file I decided to try cracking the nut and that turned out to be the key. Inside was the nutmeg "meat" ready for grating.
The package wasn't dated so I have no idea when it was picked but when grated, it smelled very fresh.
I'm very happy with my purchase and the order came very quickly.
Excellent quality and aroma. Received 12 large, shiny, fresh whole nutmegs well packed in a plastic pocket from 2Tre. These are fine quality nutmegs not the dried out whole nutmeg (pale brown and no mace) offered by other vendors or in the local grocery store.
Planning to buy more when my pumpkin pie spice mix runs out - nutmeg featured heavily in my mix and in my Caribbean rum cake.
Fantastic. I don't know where else to get raw mace. Also some people in the reviews mention staleness. I think these may have indeed sat around for a bit, but it doesn't show in any way in the ground up flavor - which is fantastic.
The outer shell keeps the nutmeg seed fresh for a long time. Highly recommended.
