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. However, more research
is required.

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.
