Nutmeg is a seed used as a spice in culinary dishes but it also has other properties such as medicinal. It is always used in ground or grated form and is best grated fresh. This spice has been flavoring many dishes in many countries from Indonesia to India, the Mediterranean and Europe ...It is predominantly used in baking sweets for example pies, milk custards, puddings, fruit dishes, biscuits, muffins, cakes and breads. It is also widely used for savory dishes, soups, stews, mash potatoes etc... It has a warm, spicy and sweet flavor… Great for winter dishes.
PS: Apparently they can be poisonous in very high quantities, specially the extracted oil, but not to worry, you're safe on the cooking side, since we are only talking about small quantities per dish.
