Best Answer

Any powdered organic material, when mixed with large volumes of air, CAN explode. It is very rapid combustion. In 2008, anexplosion was triggered by powdered sugar that killed 14 people and injured 36. However, as an explosives engineer, nutmeg would not be my first choice for an explosive.

What spice comes from nutmeg?

Two spices come from the fruit of the nutmeg tree (Myristica fragrans); they are nutmeg and mace.Nutmeg is the kernel, or seed, which is sold either ground or whole. The flavour of ready-ground nutmeg, like all pre-ground spices, lacks flavour and body; it is much better to buy whole nutmeg and grind it as needed: it's easy to grind using a nutmeg grinder (from kitchenware stores and departments) or the starburst or fine-grating section of an ordinary kitchen grater, or you can simply scrape it with a serrated knife.Mace is the aril, or seed-covering, of the nutmeg seed, and is nearly always sold ground as a red-brown powder or in 'blades', which are simply fine strips of the aril. Mace is a little sweeter than nutmeg, and less pungently aromatic.Both spices are interchangeable in recipes, and are used in preparing both sweet and savory foods.Either spice may be sprinkled on top of frothy or creamy drinks and desserts as a garnish. Nutmeg or mace used to infuse liquids such as milk are better left whole if the liquid is to be strained after infusion; the flavour will be better and they are easy to remove.Nutmeg is also used to produce essential oils for culinary, cosmetic and medicinal use, as well as for making nutmeg butter, used for culinary purposed and as a lubricant.
