Nutmeg
(Myristica fragrans)

AKA' Jaifal/ Jaiphal'

Nutmeg spice is the dried seed inside the fruit of the evergreen Nutmeg tree, grown
in tropical climates around the world. It has a warm, spicy- sweet taste and a distinctive pungent fragrance.
Use a nutmeg grinder or microplane, and grate only as much to use immediately. Freshly grated nutmeg has a more intense aroma, which can add to the overall flavor of a dish.

Suggested Uses:

It is a staple spice used alone or in combination with other warm spices in both sweet and savory dishes all over the world.
Nutmeg is a key ingredient in many baked goods, seasonal beverages and drinks. Also
used to flavor many kinds of desserts, confections, puddings, curries and sauces.

Health Benefits:

Nutmeg can reduce flatulence, aid digestion, improve the appetite. Some Ayurveda practices recommend drinking warm milk with nutmeg to get a better night’s rest.
