About Ground nutmeg

Ground nutmeg is a warm, aromatic spice derived from the seed of the nutmeg tree, native to the Maluku Islands of Indonesia. Popular in global cuisines, nutmeg is a staple in baked goods, savory dishes, and beverages like eggnog. It contains essential nutrients, including manganese, magnesium, and small amounts of fiber and vitamins such as B6 and folate. Known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, nutmeg may support brain health and digestion when consumed in moderation. However, because it contains compounds such as myristicin and safrole, excessive intake can lead to side effects like nausea or toxicity. A versatile spice, it’s best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet to enhance flavor and aroma while offering subtle health benefits.
