What Is Nutmeg Made Out Of?
Nutmeg is a spice that is made from the seed of the Myristica fragrans tree, which is native to Indonesia. The nutmeg seed is oval-shaped and about the size of a small stone fruit. Once the outer husk of the seed is removed, the dark brown kernel is ground or grated into a powder or used in its whole form. Nutmeg has a warm, spicy, and slightly sweet flavor and is commonly used in both sweet and savory dishes.
