Whole Nutmeg

Nutmeg is a popular spice derived from the seed of the Indonesian evergreen tree known as Myristica fragrans.

Whole nutmeg is prized for its warm, aromatic sweetness and depth of flavor. Unlike pre-ground nutmeg, grating it fresh releases its natural oils for a bold, vibrant taste. Simply use a microplane or nutmeg grater to shave off a pinch directly into your dish. A little goes a long way—start small and adjust to taste.
