Spiceworld "Grenada" Nutmeg, whole

Nutmeg originally came from a small archipelago in eastern Indonesia: the Banda Islands (Moluccas).
Today nutmeg is mainly produced in Indonesia and Grenada.
The best quality comes from the West Indies.

The nutmeg tree produces two spices:

1. the seeds, known as nutmeg
2. the mace, botanically speaking, is the seed coat that surrounds the nutmeg.

Nutmeg is composed of the hard seed coat that is removed after drying to release the flavor. The flavor is strong and spicy with a pleasantly bitter note. Use these spices carefully as their flavors are very strong. A tiny amount is enough to flavor your dishes.

Nutmeg is often used for meat, vegetables and cheese dishes, as well as cabbage dishes, potatoes and other vegetables. Bechamel sauce, mashed potatoes and filled pastas are also often flavored with nutmeg.
It also goes very well with sweet foods such as cakes, biscuits and compotes.

Tip:
Be careful when using, it has a very intense flavor!
