Nutmeg, Ground

Nutmeg is often used in sweet treats, such as spice cake and pumpkin pie. Additionally, it’s a common ingredient in Northern European sausage and stew recipes. Many different countries use this incredible spice for different purposes, and that’s why it’s considered so valuable, even to this day. 

Once upon a time, nutmeg was incredibly rare and valuable, so the Dutch traded Manhattan to the British for the island on which it grew. When freshly ground, nutmeg has an intense flavor and scent. Today, you can find nutmeg in classic holiday dishes, baked goods, custards, and of course, eggnog.
