Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
It is not forbidden to use flavoring substances in food such as nutmeg and spices, as long as they are not considered narcotic substances.
However, it is not permissible to excessively use them to the extent that it leads to significant harm, such as addiction or other negative effects.
May you be successful in all good.
