Whole Nutmeg

Description

Whole nutmeg comes from a tropical evergreen tree native to Indonesia's remote Banda Islands, once the world's only source of this precious spice. The large seeds nestle inside a fragrant fruit similar to an apricot or plum.
Grate the hard nutmeg seeds fresh using a fine grater to release warm, woody aromas with sweet, spicy nuances. Freshly grated nutmeg nicely accents hot drinks, winter vegetable sides, cheese fondue, and light egg or milk-based desserts without overpowering them.
