Bio spice nutmeg ground

Besides potato dishes, spinach is also a real fan when it comes to seasoning with nutmeg. For example, have you ever tried preparing young spinach leaves in the oven? Not? Then it's high time. The recipe is not only very simple, but also super tasty. And this is how it works: Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Wash the spinach and put it in a salad spinner and then in an ovenproof pot. Sprinkle with ground nutmeg, add a little salt, spread butter flakes over it and put it in the oven. About eight to ten minutes later, the spinach can be taken out again. By the way, the vegetables taste really delicious together with fresh pita bread.

The history of nutmeg is not only an exciting, but unfortunately also a rather bloody affair. Bitter colonial wars were fought over the spice. In the 17th century, the VOC (Vereenigde Oostindische Companie) not only lost the nutmeg tree on the Indonesian islands, but also almost completely exterminated the Bandanese living there and sold the survivors as slaves in order to control the population of the Banda Islands.
