Nutmeg, Whole

Nutmeg Whole (Organic) — Ancient Spice, Whole-Hearted Flavor
Harvested from the dried kernel of the Myristica fragrans fruit, our Whole Organic Nutmeg brings unmatched depth and warmth to both sweet and savory cuisine. Grate it fresh for a bold, earthy aroma and a complex flavor that lingers with sweet heat and a hint of resinous spice. Historically valued across continents—from ancient Asia to medieval Europe—nutmeg’s legacy lives on in everything from holiday pies to global meat dishes.

Nothing beats the bright punch of fresh-grated nutmeg—a little bit transforms everything.

🌿 Culinary & Cultural Highlights

• Classic in baked goods, puddings, custards, spice cakes, and holiday beverages
• Complements cheeses, egg dishes, and creamy sauces like béchamel and soufflés
• Adds depth to soups (especially split pea, tomato, or black bean), as well as chicken-based broths
• Used in savory recipes like Scottish haggis, Italian mortadella, and spiced lamb dishes
• A signature note in Moroccan ras el hanout and French quatre épices

🍴 How to Use

• Grate directly into coffee, chai, or cream sauces for real-time aroma
• Add a pinch to mashed potatoes, greens, or winter vegetables for warmth and dimension
• Use in dessert batters, soufflés, or hot buttered rum for bold holiday vibes
• Infuse into milk or broth for a slow-simmered base with subtle sweetness

Pro tip: Whole nutmeg stays fresh far longer than pre-ground. Just a little shaving adds big flavor.
