Nutmeg

Nutmeg is graded by count per pound and by soundness. We supply shelled sound nutmeg with broken and wormy content stated, which is the pair of figures a grinder needs in order to price a lot.

What to fix on the specification

• Count per pound: the primary size grade.
• Broken percentage and wormy percentage, counted separately.
• Volatile oil, for grinders and extractors.
• Moisture and foreign matter.
• Aflatoxin: against the destination limit.

Count and soundness together are what a grinder needs in order to price a lot, because a low count with high wormy content is not the bargain it looks like. Extraction and oleoresins covers the oil basis.
