Mysteries and Histories of a seed that shaped the world. Follow this hidden history podcast as we explore the mystery and history of the spice Nutmeg and the way it has shaped our world as we know it. From the birth of capitalism to the discovery of MDMA, The Secret Story of Nutmeg will show you how this seed from the Myristica fragrans tree has played a role in human discovery, from major world-shaping events and mystic traditions to human evolution and our innermost self-development. It will blow your mind. Disclaimer This podcast explores history, chemistry, cultural belief, and speculation. It does not provide medical advice or advocate drug use. Nutmeg contains the compound myristicin, which is not MDMA. Historical medicinal claims reflect beliefs of their time, not modern science. Some ideas presented are interpretive and are examined critically throughout the series.
