What it is

Nutmeg is a spice made from the seed of the nutmeg tree, native to Indonesia. The seed is dried and then ground into a powder for use in cooking and baking. It has a warm, slightly sweet, and nutty flavor.

Why it's used

Nutmeg is primarily used as a flavoring agent in a wide variety of foods. It is commonly found in baked goods, custards, puddings, and beverages like eggnog. It can also add warmth to savory dishes such as stews and meat preparations.

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 intake limits have been set for general use. While large doses can cause hallucinogenic effects, this is not relevant to its use as a food ingredient.

Allergen info

Nutmeg is not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. It is not related to tree nuts and does not contain gluten.
