The Nutmeg Heritage: A Crop That Put George Town on the Global Map
Heritage & Penang Identity Article
Before George Town became famous for its street food, it was a global hub for spice trading. And the most valuable commodity in that trade was nutmeg. Grown in the hills of Balik Pulau, traded through the port of George Town, Penang nutmeg was prized by traders from Europe, China, and the Middle East. By incorporating nutmeg powder, Tanjong Sauce® pays direct homage to this agricultural heritage. The nutmeg is not just a flavouring – it is a historical reference to the crop that helped build George Town, still grown in the same hills today.
