Nutmeg is a spice derived from the seed of the fruit of the Myristica fragrans tree, which is native to the Banda Islands in Indonesia. It is known for its warm, slightly sweet, and aromatic flavor and is used in both sweet and savory dishes. Consuming nutmeg in moderation can offer certain health benefits due to its nutritional content and active compounds. However, it’s important to emphasize moderation because excessive consumption can lead to adverse effects.
