The spice can be used in potato dishes, herbal soups, egg dishes, vegetable dishes and cheese dishes, meat mince and fish mince. It is often a character-giving spice for bechamel sauce and other white sauces for e.g. stewing. Nutmeg and nutmeg can also be used for desserts and baked goods such as Epiphany cake.

It is terpenes such as α-pinene, β-pinene, sabinene, limonene, borneol, terpinol, eugenol and isoeugenol that form the characteristic, spicy scent.
