Nutmeg Extract Powder

Nutmeg Extract Powder is a concentrated form of nutmeg, derived from the seeds of the Myristica fragrans tree. It is typically produced through an extraction process that captures the essential oils and aromatic compounds of nutmeg, resulting in a fine, potent powder. Nutmeg extract powder retains the warm, sweet, and slightly spicy flavor of whole nutmeg, making it a versatile ingredient for culinary and non-culinary applications. It is often preferred over ground nutmeg for its stronger aroma and flavor profile.
