Homemade Dried Nutmeg Pickle

Nutmeg Pickle  –  Jathikka Achaar – Kerala’s Aromatic Spice Turned Pickle

Exotic. Spicy. Uniquely Kerala.

Dive into the bold world of Kerapot’s Nutmeg Pickle, known locally as Jathikka Achaar—a truly one-of-a-kind creation from Kerala's spice belt. Made from tender slices of nutmeg fruit, this pickle brings together the warmth of Kerala’s spice gardens with the tangy punch of traditional achaar.

Slightly bitter, slightly sweet, and deeply spiced, this is a pickle for the adventurous palate. Every spoonful is a fragrant burst of the Western Ghats, where nutmeg trees grow under the tropical canopy.

What Makes It Special?

• Crafted from fresh nutmeg fruit (not just the seed!)
• Blended with Kerala-style spices and cold-pressed oil
• Bold aroma, subtle bitterness, and a satisfying spice kick
• No synthetic vinegar or preservatives
