Ground Nutmeg

Botanical name: Myristica fragrans

We source Organic Ground Nutmeg from India and pack it in a recyclable, amber coloured, glass jar with an airtight induction seal, on receipt of your order, to maximise freshness.

The Nutmeg tree is indigenous to the Banda Islands (Indonesia). The cover of the Nutmeg nut is used as Mace spice – they are the only spices that come from the same plant.

Ground Nutmeg is a fragrant spice with a piney, spicy, sweet and slightly bitter or nutty flavour. It is used in both savoury and sweet dishes in different cuisines and is very popular in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines. It can be used as a seasoning or a garnish.

Ground Nutmeg is used in cakes, cheese/cream sauces, cookies, custards, eggs, soups, stews, fruit pies, pastas, vegetable dishes or as a fragrant garnish for beverages (coffee to cocktails). A touch of Ground Nutmeg is wonderful in homemade macaroni cheese.
