Is there any nutmeg in Turkey, how is it called? What about rosemary? Where to look for them?

You can always look in the online dictionary by clicking on that word.
Have you not been to Turkey and seen the wonderful spice shops?

We dont have nutmeg (tree) in Turkey because it doesnt grow up because of climate. But you can find it in every shopping center or spice shop or bazaar. We are calling it "hindistan cevizi". And for "rosemary" we are calling "Biberiye" so you can find same store or bazaar like nutmeg. If you are living in Istanbul now, you can find from "Spice Bazaar" (Mýsýr Çarþýsý). It will be cheapest than others for you.

Agree with you on Rosemary.
But hindistan cevizi is coconut.
Nutmeg is a small nut, brown, and when you grate it it gives a very delicate flavour and it is brown (not white like coconut). Sorry, I dont know the Turkish!!

I dont know what will i say about it. I agree with you but she asked for Nutmeg and meaning is Hindistan cevizi. I have checked from www.tureng.com but www.zargan.com says "küçük hindistan cevizi" but i really dont know what is difference between them

I am in Ankara. I dont know the place very well and I only shop in big supermarkets or little ones in my region, I havent seen a big variety of spices yet... I wanted to make it more clear for myself about the translation. Biberiye was correct, but hindistan cevizi is coconut, I dont understand why they have same names in Turkey...
