Nutmeg, Whole

Whole nutmeg is the aromatic seed of the evergreen nutmeg tree. Unlike pre-ground nutmeg, whole nutmegs retain their flavor and potency for longer. Grate or grind a small amount fresh for the most fragrant and delicious results. Whole nutmeg adds a warm, slightly sweet flavor with hints of pepper and clove to soups, stews, vegetables, and baked goods.
