What it is

Organic Nutmeg Extract is a flavoring derived from the seed of the nutmeg tree, native to the Banda Islands in Indonesia. The extract is produced by steeping nutmeg in a solvent, such as alcohol or water, to capture its aromatic compounds. It is then filtered and concentrated to create a liquid flavoring.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic nutmeg extract to impart a warm, spicy, and slightly sweet flavor to foods and beverages. It is commonly found in baked goods like pies and cookies, dairy products such as ice cream and eggnog, and chocolate confections.

Health notes

Organic nutmeg extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. At typical consumption levels found in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated nutmeg and its extracts, but no specific numeric limits are set for its use as a flavoring. While nutmeg can have psychoactive effects in very large doses, these are far beyond what would be consumed in typical food products.

Allergen info

Nutmeg is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA, nor does it contain gluten.
