| Product Features Nutmeg is the seed of *Myristica fragrans*, an evergreen tree native to the Moluccas Islands of Indonesia. It boasts a warm, woody, slightly sweet aroma paired with a pungent, nutty flavor. The seed is dried and sold either whole (with a hard brown outer shell) or ground into a fine powder. Renowned for its sensory uniqueness, nutmeg has been a globally traded spice for centuries, valued for its versatility across culinary and non-culinary uses. Product Uses Culinarily, nutmeg shines in both sweet and savory dishes: it elevates baked goods (cakes, cookies, pumpkin pies), custards, and beverages (eggnog, spiced hot chocolate); it seasons savory items like sausages, roasts, stews, and creamed spinach. Historically, it was used in traditional medicine for potential digestive support (though modern applications are mainly culinary). Industrially, its warm scent is incorporated into perfumes, soaps, and toothpastes as a flavoring or aromatic agent.
