Nutmeg is a dark-leaved evergreen tree cultivated for two spices derived from its fruit: nutmeg and mace. It is also a commercial source of an essential oil and nutmeg butter. It is considered to be an unconventional way of getting high due to the presence of myristicin that has mind altering effects if used in large doses. The toxic dose of nutmeg is two to three teaspoons. It can be hallucinogenic, much like LSD. It is used to to add flavour to meat and bakery products. Nutmeg has a warm, spicy aroma and flavour and can be used in sweet and savoury cooking. It is known for its aromatic, aphrodisiac, and curative properties and generally used in Chinese and East Indian cultures.

Nutmeg oil is distinguished by its strong aroma with clear, pale greenish or yellowish colours. It is highly sensitive to temperature and light, insoluble in water and soluble in alcohol.
