Ground Nutmeg

Ground Nutmeg is a warm, aromatic spice derived from the seed of the Myristica fragrans tree, widely used in European, Middle Eastern and South Asian cuisines for sweet and savory dishes. It is prized for its sweet, slightly nutty flavor and is used sparingly to season baked goods, curries, drinks and sauces. Although typically used in small amounts, powdered Ground Nutmeg contains a notable amount of fiber (20.8g per 100g) and delivers concentrated aromatic oils and minerals. Because it’s consumed in tiny quantities, its caloric and fat content are not usually relevant to typical recipes. nutmeg also contains plant compounds with antioxidant activity, contributing flavor and potential protective phytochemicals when included as part of a varied diet.
