What if the scent of American autumn began on tiny tropical islands thousands of miles away?

When Ellie helps Oma bake pumpkin bread on a crisp autumn day, one little spice fills the kitchen with a familiar warm, sweet scent: Nutmeg. This small, brown spice has a surprisingly big story.

Long before nutmeg found its way into pumpkin bread and American autumn traditions, it grew on the Banda Islands of Indonesia-the only place in the world where nutmeg grew naturally for centuries. So valuable was this little spice that European powers sailed across oceans and struggled for control of the islands where it grew.
