How is ripe nutmeg dried?

Ripe nutmeg is dried by first harvesting the fruit when it is fully mature. The outer husk is removed to reveal the nutmeg seed, which is then allowed to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area to prevent mold and preserve flavor. The drying process typically takes several weeks, during which the nutmeg shrinks and develops a hard shell. Once fully dried, the nutmeg can be stored for later use.
