Spices, nutmeg, ground

Nutrition Facts & Diabetes Guide

Fiber runs 21g per 100g, which can blunt post-meal glucose spikes by slowing digestion. 525 kcal per 100g places this among the more energy-dense foods in the database — portions deserve attention. Saturated fat measures 25.9g per 100g — worth weighing against your overall daily allowance. Glycemic index data is not available for nutmeg ground from the Sydney University GI Tables (Atkinson et al., 2021), so this page focuses on the measured USDA nutrition profile instead of a GL verdict.
