Nutmeg in shell

WHAT IS NUTMEG IN SHEEL?

Nutmeg in shell is the seed of the nutmeg tree (Myristica fragrans) that is still wrapped in its natural hard shell. This nutmeg has a distinctive and strong aroma, and is widely used as a spice in cooking, drinks, and in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Storing nutmeg in its shell helps maintain its freshness, flavor, and essential oil content longer than ground nutmeg. The benefits of nutmeg include its ability to aid digestion, relieve pain, improve sleep quality, and have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. In addition, nutmeg essential oil is also used in aromatherapy to calm the mind and improve mood.
