Ground nutmeg

Specifications - Benefits - Uses The use of nutmeg has multiple nutritional uses, as it is used as a spice or seasoning alone or within different spice blends such as curry powder, as it gives a distinctive, pungent, and sweet flavor to dishes. It is also used in the manufacture of some baked goods, pies, desserts, flavorful sauces, and in preparing vegetable dishes and seasoning meats and poultry prepared for grilling. It can also be added to specific types of milk prepared for making some Western coffee varieties, and it is used with béchamel sauce. Therapeutic benefits Nutmeg is known as an invigorating substance and a remedy for stomach wind. Nutmeg oil (called salikhah) is used in the manufacture of ointments that treat rheumatism and respiratory problems, and it is also used to treat dry skin and its disorders, as well as some sexual problems. However, attention must be paid not to use large quantities of nutmeg in food because it contains substances that may cause hallucinations and blurred vision.
