Nutritional Tidbit from Audrey. Swedish Meatballs are different than Italian and it is primarily the spices that are used and of course the “gravy” or sauce. Nutmeg and Allspice are used in Swedish Meatballs. Allspice is from a berry and Nutmeg is from a seed. Both are antioxidants and are being studied to see what benefit they may have as anti-inflammatories.
