Nutmeg comes from the seed of Myristica fragrans, an evergreen tree native to Indonesia’s Spice Islands. It’s prized for its warm, slightly sweet, and mildly nutty flavor, making it a staple in both sweet and savory cooking.

Nutmeg has a rich aroma with notes reminiscent of clove and cinnamon. It’s commonly used in baked goods, custards, and spice blends, and adds depth to creamy sauces, vegetable dishes, and hearty meat recipes. It is also a classic addition to holiday drinks such as eggnog and mulled beverages.

In addition to its culinary use, Nutmeg has a long history in traditional wellness practices. It naturally contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds and has been traditionally used to support digestion and overall comfort.

Whether grated fresh or added to blends, Nutmeg brings a warm, aromatic boost to a wide range of dishes.
