Botanical Extract
Nutmeg
Myristica fragrans
Nutmeg is the dried seed kernel of an evergreen native to Indonesia's Banda Islands, prized for the warm aromatic profile carried by myristicin. Oleoresin captures both aroma and the heavier flavor compounds essential oil leaves behind, making it the preferred form for food manufacturing.
