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 the hard shell is cracked open to reveal the kernel, which is the nutmeg. It is typically sold as a whole seed or ground into a powder.

Why it's used

Ground nutmeg is used to add a warm, nutty flavor to a variety of foods. It is commonly found in baked goods, custards, puddings, and spice blends. It can also be used in savory dishes like stews and sauces.

Health notes

Nutmeg is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a spice. It is not typically consumed in large enough quantities to cause adverse effects. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated nutmeg and established specifications for its use as a flavoring agent. While nutmeg contains compounds that can be psychoactive in very large doses, typical culinary use is not associated with these effects.

Allergen info

Nutmeg is not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
