Nutmeg was one of the most expensive spices in the world, a cause of wars between colonial powers. This historical value translated into popular magic: where there is nutmeg, there is money.
In the traditional garrafadas of Central Brazil, the raizeiro masters recognized in the knotted shape of the root the living metaphor of firmeza: the capacity to tie knots in adversity and remain standing even in arid lands.
The whole nutmeg kept stored lasts for years without losing its aroma. When it begins to dry and crack, tradition says it has already fulfilled its service and asks for a replacement.
