Frequently Asked Questions

Do you screen for aflatoxins and mold on whole nutmeg?

Yes, whole nutmeg kernels are vulnerable to fungal growth if harvested wet. We only source sun-dried sound kernels with moisture below 10%, with mandatory HPLC testing confirming aflatoxins below EU limits (Total < 10 ppb).

Can you supply both nutmeg and mace in a consolidated shipment?

Yes, we can consolidate whole nutmeg kernels and delicate whole mace flower arils in the same container or air consignment.
