Whole Nutmeg

Description

Whole Nutmeg

Whole Nutmeg has a warm, sweet flavor. It is the seed of any of several species of trees in the genus Myristica, the most important of which is Myristica Fragrans, indigenous to Indonesia and Malaysia. Nutmeg grows wrapped in a bright red, hard, web-like casing with a similar warm, sweet flavor. This coating is ground into the spice known as Mace.

Ground Nutmeg is a classic baking spice and works exceptionally well with cakes, Pumpkin & Apple Pies, cookies, fruit pies, muffins and in sweet breads. We use it in our Apple Pie Spice and Pumpkin Pie Spice.

Use as a topping for custard, eggnog, whipped cream and coffee drinks. It is also used to add depth to savory dishes or to round out other sweet flavors. It is most notably associated with winter baking and spiced beverages as well as in sweet potato recipes.

Nutmeg is used in many other cuisines. In the Middle Eastern, it is used in lamb and mutton recipes. In India, Pakistan and Northern Africa it is a key ingredient in curry powders like Garam Masala t seasoning blend. In Europe it is used in baked goods, potato dishes, sauces and processed meats. In the Caribbean, nutmeg is found in Jamaican Jerk Seasoning.
