Myristica fragans

This nut not only looks nice but also tastes nice. 
So nice until Portugal sent an expedition to the stretch of thousand islands along the equator in South East Asia in the early 1512 for it. 
So nice until the prolonged struggles between The British and Dutch in the Second Anglo-Dutch War ended with an exchange agreement between the two where the Dutch gained control of the small island of Run in Indonesia, then the only source of the seed, while Britain controlled New Amsterdam in North America which is now known as New York.
And then the story of 350 years colonization of a country later known as Indonesia begin. From this nice nut, Myristica fragans, nutmeg, or simply known as pala in Indonesian.
