Femme Organics Nutmeg Powder

Nutmegs themselves are the pits found inside the fruit of nutmeg trees, and they’re ground to create the nutmeg powder you find in the spice aisle. 
 

It’s easily one of the most interesting flavors to work with as a home cook because it can wear several hats and walk the line between sweet and savory dishes. That’s what makes it such a great tool in your pantry...

Beyond the fact that it’s yummy, recent studies have found that nutmeg helps protect your liver. Other studies claim it can improve digestion and insomnia, act as a pain reliever, and it may help with depression. 
 

It is also known as potent aphrodisiac due to it’s nervous stimulating properties which enhances libido, improves penile erection, increases ejaculation latency/time, and intensifies sexual activity in sustained manner.

Since ages, a combination of milk with a pinch of nutmeg has been an age-old remedy to improve sex drive. Even according to Ayurveda, this spice helps in calming the nervous system and improves blood circulation to the reproductive organs. This is the reason why it has been deemed as women's vlagra.

Nutmeg is a rich source of antioxidants, which help protect against the signs of aging and serious conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and liver disease.

While nutmeg is considered a sweet seasoning, it’s not your typical sugary sweet. It’s more of an earthy, nutty sweetness. That’s what makes it so versatile, and it’s why it can be added to savory dishes as well as sweet ones. Just know that a little goes a long way with the unique spice.

The first rule of cooking with nutmeg is that a little does a lot; you don’t need much. It complements meat well and goes great with root vegetables and winter squash. You can use it when making hearty soups or stews. And nutmeg is just as great for baking as it is for cooking. It’s a key ingredient in many desserts, including pumpkin pie, custards, and egg nog during the holidays. People use it in cakes, too. Remember, use in small doses only!

Quick Tips

• Potency: Use sparingly; a small pinch (approx. 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon) is usually enough for a family-sized dish, as too much can become bitter or overwhelming.
• Freshness: While powder is convenient, nutmeg loses its flavor quickly once ground. Store it in an airtight container away from light for up to 6 months.
