Ground nutmeg is a spice made from the dried seed of the nutmeg tree. It provides fat, sugars and fibre, along with smaller amounts of protein and a range of minerals. Per 100g, it contains 36g of fat, including 26g of saturated fat, as well as 29g of sugars and 21g of fibre.
Fibre supports normal bowel function. Saturated fat is worth noting for people monitoring their intake, although nutmeg is generally used in small amounts as a seasoning. The amount of fat, sugars and fibre it contributes therefore depends on how much is used. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
