    The passage discusses the history and cultivation of nutmeg. It describes how nutmeg was introduced to Europe in the Middle Ages by Arab traders and became popular in the 16th century as a treatment for the plague. In the 17th century, the Dutch gained control of the Banda Islands where nutmeg was grown. They restricted production and placed bans on cultivation elsewhere. By the late 18th century, nutmeg plants had been secretly taken to other parts of Asia and the Banda Islands faced a volcanic eruption that destroyed half its nutmeg plantations.
