Scientific name of Nutmeg is :

  • A.Myristica fragrans
  • B.Frula foetida
  • C.Zingiber officinale
  • D.Piper nigrum

Answer: A

The scientific name of nutmeg is Myristica fragrans.

Nutmeg is the dried seed of Myristica fragrans (family Myristicaceae), and mace is the dried red aril around the same seed. It is used as a spice, a carminative and a flavouring, and its oil contains myristicin, which is toxic in large doses.

'Frula foetida' (properly Ferula) is asafoetida, Zingiber officinale is ginger, and Piper nigrum is black pepper.
