Nutmeg is a popular spice, made from the seeds of a large tropical tree. Its nutty and sweet flavour lends well to savoury and sweet dishes as well as drinks. Nutmeg is rich in antioxidants, including phenolic compounds, essential oils, and plant pigments, all of which help prevent cellular damage and may protect against chronic diseases.

Emerging evidence suggests that nutmeg may help boost mood, enhance blood sugar control, and reduce risk factors for heart disease.
