Ayo-ma friends who love cooking stews surely know how to differentiate between a good stew and an extraordinary one. The secret often lies in the choice of ingredients that enhance the flavor. Did you know that the secret is in the nutmeg? Not only does it enhance the taste, but it also adds a special aroma that elevates the dish!
Nutmeg, often referred to as the “queen of spices,” is not only valued for its aromatic qualities but also boasts several amazing health benefits:
- Improves and Induces Sleep
Nutmeg oil has calming properties that relieve stress and soothe the nerves. It can effectively help induce sleep and enhance sleep quality. One of the world’s best nutmegs is Siau nutmeg, which contains the highest oil content compared to others—80-100 percent, while most have only 50-70 percent. To obtain nutmeg oil, Ayo-ma friends can simply extract the juice from the nutmeg. Dry the nutmeg until brownish in color, then boil the dried nutmeg in a small pan over medium heat. - Resolves Digestive Problems
Nutmeg possesses anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties that can help alleviate digestive disorders such as flatulence, gas, and diarrhea. Nutmeg extract has been used in traditional medicine to relieve indigestion for centuries. - Boosts Endurance
Nutmeg is high in antioxidants, including phenolic acids and flavonoids, which help protect the body’s cells from free radical damage.
If you want to experience the full flavor of nutmeg, opt for whole nutmeg seeds, as their fragrance lasts longer. Roast the seeds briefly before grating them. The aromatic essence will transform your kitchen into a fragrant haven. Let’s elevate our cooking to something truly special!
