A popular spice in Europe, India contributes significantly to the
global demand in Nutmeg and Kerala produces 90% of it. The
Myristica Fragans tree, or Jathi Tree, is a common sighting
especially in Northern and Central Kerala. Used as a
seasoning or condiment with a sweet yet slightly bitter taste,
Nutmeg gives a unique flavouring to your meat and seafood
dishes.
Health Benefit: Nutmeg finds its use in Ayurveda, with Vedic
literature crediting the spice for dental hygiene & therapeutic
treatments. It is rich in anti-oxidants and phenolic compounds,
which prevent cellular damage and protect against chronic
diseases.
