What it is
Nutmeg is a spice made from the seed of the nutmeg tree (Myristica fragrans), native to Indonesia. The seed is dried and then ground into a powder. It has a warm, nutty, and slightly sweet flavor.
Why it's used
Ground nutmeg is used as a flavoring agent in a wide variety of foods. It is commonly found in baked goods like cakes, cookies, and pastries, as well as in dairy products, custards, and beverages. It adds a warm, aromatic note to dishes.
Health notes
Nutmeg is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is used in small amounts for flavoring, and at these levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated nutmeg, but no specific numeric limits are set for its use as a flavoring. In very large quantities, nutmeg can have psychoactive effects and cause nausea or dizziness, but this is not relevant to its use in food.
Allergen info
Nutmeg is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
