Nutmeg is the seed, or the ground spice derived from the seed, of several tree species of the genus Myristica; fragrant nutmeg or true nutmeg is a dark-leaved evergreen tree cultivated for two spices derived from its fruit: nutmeg, from its seed, and mace, from the seed covering.
Nutmeg contains bioactive compounds that may support brain, heart, and immune function through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial mechanisms, largely supported by preclinical evidence. Its safety profile is dose-dependent: culinary amounts are safe, but high intakes are linked to neurotoxicity
