Description
Botanical Name: Myristica fragrans
Nutmeg is the seed of the fruit of an evergreen tree native to the Banda Islands of Indonesia, historically known as the Spice Islands. Highly prized for centuries, nutmeg travelled ancient trade routes to Europe, the Middle East and South Asia, becoming one of the most valued warming spices in global kitchens.
Spice Zen’s Certified Organic Whole Nutmeg is carefully sourced and packed whole to preserve its natural oils and aroma. When freshly grated, nutmeg releases an intense, sweetly spiced fragrance that is far superior to pre ground nutmeg, with notes of warmth, nuttiness and soft peppery sweetness.
Flavour & Aroma Profile
Warm, sweet and nutty with soft peppery notes, gentle bitterness and a lingering, comforting finish.
How to Use
- Grate fresh using a fine grater for best aroma.
