It has always been an important spice in Africa, until the rise of the Asian nutmeg, with which it shares great similarities. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEhuru is the seed of Monodora myristica, a tree in the Custard Apple family. Like many other trees in this family, myristica bears fruit that can be enormous (up to 40 cm) and full of seeds. The seeds are embedded in a yellow pulp, which is used in savory and sweet dishes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEhuru pairs excellently with citrus notes, making it suitable for use with chicken dishes.

That is a pity, because This has its own strong aroma, which best suits African culinary traditions.
