Nutmeg is the inner seed of the tropical nutmeg fruit, roughly the size of a small apricot pit. Once the rough, wrinkled brownish-black shell is removed, it reveals a smooth, reddish-brown seed with a warm, slightly sweet, and nutty flavor with hints of spice and earthiness. The rich, aromatic profile makes nutmeg indispensable in baking, desserts, savory sauces, and beverages, while also offering traditional digestive and calming properties when used in moderation.
