Nutmeg - Whole

Details:
 
The fruit of the nutmeg tree produces two edible spices - the nutmeg nut and the outer covering, mace. A whole nutmeg can be stored for years and when grated fresh ensures the strongest flavor (sweet and warm), while pre-ground is more convenient. Nutmeg is traditionally used in baking, but also adds flavor to cheese sauces, pasta fillings, spinach, and fish.
 
Nutmeg is first harvested 7-9 years after planting and is from the center seeds of the nutmeg fruit. The trees reach their maximum production after 20 years.
 
Can we take nutmeg daily?
 
But nutmeg is POSSIBLY UNSAFE when taken in doses larger than amounts found in foods and for long periods of time. Long-term use of nutmeg in doses of 120 mg or more daily has been linked to hallucinations and other mental side effects.
 
What are the health benefits of nutmeg?
 
Nutmeg is found to have health benefits, including its ability to relieve pain, soothe indigestion, strengthen cognitive function, detoxify the body, boost skin health, alleviate oral conditions, reduce insomnia, increase immune system function, and prevent leukemia, and improve blood circulation.
 
Does nutmeg lighten skin?
 
One of the biggest benefits of nutmeg for skin is that it can help even out pigmentation, according to Ross. He recommends whipping up a DIY mask consisting of a teaspoon of lemon juice, a tablespoon of yogurt, a tablespoon of raw honey, and a pinch of nutmeg to help even out your skin tone.
