Nutmeg grades explained
A buyer’s guide to Indonesian whole nutmeg: what ABCD means, how nutmeg in the shell is sold by percentage, and what to include in your inquiry.
What ABCD nutmeg is
ABCD is nutmeg with a nice round shape, and one of the highest qualities. ABCD nutmeg has not yet been separated by size.

Nutmeg in the shell is sold by percentage
Nutmeg in the shell is usually described by a percentage. The percentage tells you how much ABCD nutmeg the lot contains.
ABCD 65–70% is available on request.

Comparing offers from different suppliers
