Whole Nutmeg
Whole nutmeg is the unground seed of the nutmeg tree, prized for its warm, sweet, and slightly nutty flavor. Grating it fresh releases a more intense aroma and taste than pre-ground nutmeg.
Ways to Use Whole Nutmeg:
- Grate fresh into baked goods like cakes, cookies, and pies
- Add to creamy sauces, soups, and mashed vegetables
- Stir into hot drinks such as coffee, cocoa, or mulled wine
- Use in spice blends, custards, and puddings for richer flavor
- Enhance savory dishes like pasta, egg dishes, or roasted vegetables
