Nutmeg is one of the spices that changed the world. Native to the Banda Islands of Indonesia, nutmeg is the nut that comes from an evergreen tree from the Myristica fragrans tree. Ground nutmeg is used as an alternative to whole nutmeg, or when copious amounts are needed for flavoring purposes. From the early days of nutmeg, this classic baking spice was found not only in cuisine but also in medicinal practices.
