nutmeg
Nutmeg is used to flavour a variety of baked items, confections, puddings, potatoes, meats, sausages, sauces, vegetables, and beverages like eggnog. It has a distinctly pungent scent and a toasty, somewhat sweet taste. The nutmeg seed’s fleshy arils are where the spice mace comes from. Nutmeg
