The spice of particular importance to the Dutch from the Spice Islands was nutmeg. During the 17th century, the Dutch sought to control the lucrative nutmeg trade, as it was highly valued for its use in cooking, medicine, and preservation. The Dutch established a monopoly over nutmeg production by taking control of the Banda Islands, where it was primarily grown, significantly boosting their economic power during the period.
