Nutmeg
Myristica fragrans
Fam: Myristicaceae
The nutmeg tree is a large evergreen native to the Moluccas (the Spice Islands) and is now cultivated in the West Indies. It produces two spices — mace and nutmeg. Nutmeg is the seed kernel inside the fruit and mace is the lacy covering (aril) on the kernel.
The Arabs were the exclusive importers of the spice to Europe up until 1512, when Vasco de Gama reached the Moloccas and claimed the islands for Portugal. To preserve their new monopoly, the Portuguese (and from 1602, the Dutch) restricted the trees to the islands of Banda and Amboina. The Dutch were especially cautious, since the part of the fruit used as a spice is also the seed, so that anyone with the spice could propagate it. To protect against this, the Dutch bathed the seeds in lime, which would prevent them from growing. This plan was thwarted however, by fruit pigeons who carried the fruit to other islands, before it was harvested, scattering the seeds. The Dutch sent out search and destroy crews to control the spread and when there was an abundant harvest, they even burned nutmeg to keep its supply under control. Despite these precautions, the French, led by Pierre Poivre (Peter Piper) smuggled nutmeg seeds and clove seedlings to start a plantation on the island of Mauritius, off the east coast of Africa, near Madagascar. In 1796 the British took over the Moloccas and spread the cultivation to other East Indian islands and then to the Caribbean. Nutmeg was so successful in Grenada it now calls itself the Nutmeg Island, designing its flag in the green, yellow and red colours of nutmeg and including a graphic image of nutmeg in one corner.
Spice Description
The nutmeg seed is encased in a mottled yellow, edible fruit, the approximate size and shape of a small peach. The fruit splits in half to reveal a net-like, bright red covering over the seed. This is the aril which is collected, dried and sold as mace. Under the aril is a dark shiny nut-like pit, and inside that is the oval shaped seed which is the nutmeg. Nutmegs are usually sold without the mace or hard shell. They are oval, about 25 mm (1 in) in length, lightly wrinkled and dark brown on the outside, lighter brown on the inside. Nutmeg is sold whole or ground, and is labeled as ‘East Indian’ or ‘West Indian’ indicating its source. Whole nutmeg may be coated with lime to protect against insects and fungus, though this practice is giving way to other forms of fumigation.

DCP is the feed preparation of raw materials, Animal right to supplement calcium needs. Coarse its products more applicable to the preparation hens, ducks feed, concentrate feed and premix.
Product Nature
Molecular Formula:CaHPO4·2H2O,Molecular weight:172.09,After drying with loose white powdery crystals or granules. Neutral products, the melting acid, water-soluble, hygroscopicity small, heated to 90 around gradually lose water of crystallization.
Product Features
The purity of the product, calcium and phosphorus ratio appropriate to ensure a higher degree of its biological effects. Phosphorus content greater than 18% of the products, due to a small amount of MCP, and its biological effects better.
This unique high-tech companies use technology to make our products crystallization, high purity and its harmful impurities significantly below standards:HG26362000
Drying process advanced products, products with low free water under the premise that the product does not lose crystallization of water, avoid the product in the drying process for the loss of water caused by crystallization of biological effects of the reduction.
Coarse particle DCP in the animals stay in the stomach longer and more conducive to the absorption of calcium phosphate, the product of Micro-particle DCP granulation from mechanical, without any chemical binder.
