Nutmeg is commonly used in cakes, cookies, pumpkin pie, custards, eggnog, spice blends, and some creamy savory dishes like mashed potatoes.
Nutmeg adds warm, slightly sweet, and aromatic flavor that enhances baked goods, desserts, and some savory recipes.
Common substitutes for nutmeg include cinnamon, allspice, mace, or pumpkin pie spice depending on the recipe.
Nutmeg powder can be made by grinding whole nutmeg using a spice grinder, mortar and pestle, or finely crushing it with a knife.
