Myristica fragrans
organic nutmeg
plant overview
warm and aromatic
Nutmeg is a warm seasoning and spice obtained from the large seed of an
Indonesian tree. When dried, the “nut” can be heard rattling inside when the
shell is shaken. The fragrant nutmeg is sometimes used whole in potpourri,
but is finely ground when used as spice. The warm and slightly bitter flavor
of nutmeg goes a long way, so only a little is needed or it will overpower
foods and beverages. Nutmeg is a baking spice used to flavor breads, cakes,
cookies and pastries. It is also used to season game meats, soups, and
various beverages. See also mace.
