Nutmeg Powder – 500g

Nutmeg powder is made from the dried seed of the nutmeg tree (Myristica fragrans), which is native to Southeast Asia. It has a warm, sweet, and slightly spicy flavor with hints of clove and cinnamon, making it a popular spice in both sweet and savory dishes. Nutmeg powder is commonly used in baking, particularly in desserts like pies, cakes, cookies, and custards, as well as in beverages like eggnog and chai. In savory cooking, it is added to soups, stews, sauces, and even mashed potatoes to enhance their flavor with a subtle warmth. Nutmeg is also a key ingredient in many spice blends, including garam masala. Beyond its culinary uses, nutmeg has been traditionally valued for its medicinal properties, such as aiding digestion, reducing pain, and promoting relaxation. However, nutmeg should be used sparingly, as its strong flavor can easily overpower dishes.
