Nutmeg is a spice which has its origins in Indonesia and has a number of health benefits. It is a spice which is used globally and has a delicate flavor which is widely used in various cuisines across the world. 

Here are the top 4 health benefits of nutmeg.

2. Good for the brain – Not many know that nutmeg has components like macelignan and myristicin which are essential oils. These components help to reduce the degradation of the neural pathways and cognitive functions, which usually affect people with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
