About Spices, nutmeg, ground
Ground nutmeg comes from the seed of Myristica fragrans, and its warm, slightly sweet, almost resinous flavor has made it a fixture in baked goods, cream sauces, and spiced drinks for centuries. The fat content is surprisingly high for a spice, most of it from natural seed oils. It is potent - just a small grating over bechamel or a pinch folded into pumpkin bread is enough. Used in large amounts it can be overwhelming, so cooks generally treat it more like a seasoning accent than a primary flavor.
