The nutmeg seed is encased in a mottled yellow, edible fruit, the approximate size and shape of a small peach. The fruit splits in half to reveal a net-like bright red covering over the seed.

Nutmegs are usually sold without the mace or hard shell. They are oval about 25mm 1inch in length, lightly wrinkled and dark brown on the outside, lighter brown on the inside.
