Nutmeg - Whole

The fragrant, woodsy flavor of nutmeg adds warmth to both sweet and savory dishes. Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines feature nutmeg prominently, and it even turns up in tortellini and béchamel sauce.

Along with sweet desserts like pumpkin pie and cinnamon rolls, try nutmeg with rice pudding, mulled drinks, eggnog, sweet potatoes, and baked squashes.

Nutmeg is best when freshly grated.
