Some spices offer more than just an exciting taste. One could write essays or poems about the properties of chilli, cinnamon, or turmeric. Today, we want to recommend another spice, which is a fantastic addition to coffee's already remarkable properties. Add just a pinch to your black coffee, and your body will thank you.

Coffee with an unusual addition

Drinking coffee (of course, in moderate amounts) offers exceptional benefits for the human body. For years, we’ve been advocating for moderation in this area. You can’t drink coffee with unhealthy additives like flavoured syrups, large amounts of sugar, or artificial creamers and expect positive effects. Moreover, it’s increasingly discussed that even adding milk to coffee causes the drink to lose and gain little. That’s why it’s worth considering replacing the milky beverage. With what? For example... nutmeg.

This popular spice (béchamel sauce or mashed potatoes) complements coffee's health properties and flavour. Regularly adding even a pinch to your stimulating drink is enough to see effects.

Nutmeg is a spice that contains many beautiful micronutrients. In this context, it’s worth highlighting fibre, pectins, fatty acids, many vitamins (including A, C, and B groups), and minerals — potassium, magnesium, iron, and zinc. This means that nutmeg replenishes our nutritional resources, lowers cholesterol, and prevents stomach ulcers.

Coffee with nutmeg is also practical for weight loss. Consuming it speeds up metabolism and makes digestion more effective. The aromatic spice also has detoxifying properties; its fibre allows you to feel full longer. And, of course, the first step to losing weight is avoiding the temptation of constant snacking.

Amidst all this enthusiasm, let’s remember the limitations related to nutmeg consumption. A safe amount is considered to be 2-3 pinches. Exceeding this amount can cause many adverse effects!
