Fact: The Hidden Side of Nutmeg
Nutmeg is a spice often overlooked in the kitchen, but it packs a punch in flavor and aroma. The nutmeg tree, native to the Indonesian islands, produces a fruit that splits open to reveal a seed. Alongside being a flavor enhancer, it also has some medicinal uses.
While it’s a valuable spice, excess use can cause adverse reactions. Myristicin is present in nutmeg, which is an insecticide. So it’s better to use this ingredient in moderation. Don’t want anyone to hallucinate because of it!
