N is for....

Nectarine
Nutmeg
Naartjie

Have I eaten any of these before?
Yes, although haven't eaten an actual nutmeg... is there such a thing?

"The nutmeg tree is any of several species of trees in genus Myristica" (according to Wiki) The nutmeg is actually the seed, not the fruit.

Hero of the day?
Naaaaaaaaaaartjies! So South African, they deserve to be top of the N's :) Their scientific name is "Citrus nobilis" - hahahahaaa, funny to think of the Noble Naartjie :)

"As with other citrus fruits, this soft citrus is loaded with vitamins. It is a rich source of folate, vitamin C and beta-carotene. It also contains high levels of magnesium and potassium."
