Uses of Nutmeg Spice: |

|
Nutmeg spice is a important flavor in barbeque sauce, on meats, in baking, desserts of all kinds, and some drinks. Nutmeg is an important spice in many American classic foods such as pumpkin pie and eggnog. The fruit of the nutmeg tree, not the inner seed we know as nutmeg spice, is used to make a jelly in the tree's native country. Nutmeg is said to be an aphrodisiac, a stimulant, and a hallucinogen when taken in large quantities.
