Nutmeg or mustard on AIP

[Guest]

I am interested in using both of these seeds in ground or grated form.  I'm not sure what the current opinion is on using these on AIP.

 

Anyone know?

When I did the AIP, I pretty much relied on Paleomom for lists of safe foods and spices. She lists both nutmeg and mustard as to be avoided. I used mace instead of nutmeg as it's listed as safe.

 

the list is here

I have been avoiding them. And I love nutmeg and grind my own. I would also love some fennel seed, but I'm waiting (only 5 more days!!!).

 

You want something mustardy? Try Watercress. I bought some yesterday. I wasn't expecting THAT!!!! Cloves/cinnamon are a good substitute for nutmeg.

Baby arugula greens make a great mustard substitute too.

Thanks to you all.  We don't own mace, but will probably get some.  I can't currently eat raw foods, but will consider the greens if I get to again.

 

Without nightshades, my palate gets to learn all kinds of new flavors.

Wow - I just lost an hour browsing that site.  Also, it turns out there is a whole cookbook dedicated to the AIP!!  That might actually motivate me (Queen of Cumin) to try it!!
