Ground Nutmeg

Product Overview

Ground Nutmeg is a finely milled spice made from the seeds of the Myristica fragrans tree, native to Indonesia. Known for its warm, slightly sweet aroma and earthy flavor, nutmeg has been used in culinary traditions across the globe for centuries. This product offers a smooth, consistent texture and a rich, golden-brown color, making it a must-have in any spice rack. Whether used on its own or combined with other spices, it brings depth and complexity to both sweet and savory dishes.

Nutritional Value

While Ground Nutmeg is typically used in small quantities, it offers a range of beneficial nutrients. It contains small amounts of dietary fiber, calcium, iron, and magnesium. Nutmeg also provides trace levels of vitamins such as vitamin A and several B-complex vitamins. Despite its low serving size, this spice can contribute to your overall intake of minerals when used regularly in diverse recipes.

Ways to Use

Ground Nutmeg is incredibly versatile. Add a pinch to baked goods like pies, cakes, and cookies for a signature warming note. It pairs beautifully with cinnamon, cloves, and allspice in seasonal recipes and spice blends. Use it in savory dishes such as creamy soups, sauces, mashed potatoes, and pasta. Nutmeg also enhances the flavor of beverages like hot chocolate, chai, and mulled cider.

Storage Recommendations

Store Ground Nutmeg in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage ensures long-lasting freshness and maximum flavor. Avoid using wet spoons to preserve its fine texture and prevent clumping.

Additional Instructions

No preparation is required-this product is ready to use. For best results, add nutmeg toward the end of cooking to preserve its aroma and flavor. When substituting for whole nutmeg, use 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg per whole nutmeg grated.
