In the 17th century, the Dutch controlled the Banda Island and got this plant cultivated on a large scale. However during Napoleonic war the British got hold over plantation of this. Slowly nutmeg and mace began to be cultivated in other parts of the world. Even today this spice is used in different types of cuisines.
