Bulk Whole Nutmeg, Seasoning, Spice Select size from drop down above Whole, egg-shaped nutmegGreat as a garnish or ingredientEasily accessible for any pantryIdeal for eggnog and holiday dishesThis brown, egg-shaped whole spice is derived from the large seed of a fruit that grows on the tropical evergreen Myristica fragans. It is commonly ground and used for sauces, soups, vegetables, desserts, and even beverages. Nutmeg can also be a great substitute for other warm spices, like cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice, or mace. A fresh, ground version of whole nutmeg offers a more potent flavor and vibrant aroma than ground nutmeg. To grind, simply use a microplane grater or nutmeg grater and slide the nutmeg seed down along the grater. Because the nutmeg is so potent, only a small amount is needed to deliver big flavor. Nutmeg has a warm, nutty, and slightly sweet flavor and is a highly aromatic spice. It has been described as more zesty than cinnamon but less intense than mace. It’s ideal for using as an ingredient in recipes, or as a garnish for specialty beverages, like a holiday eggnog or the classic painkiller cocktail! Nutmeg brings flavor to so many sweet and savory dishes, and is commonly used for desserts, such as pumpkin pie, apple pie, and carrot cake. It can also be used to bring added depth to spinach dishes, cheese sauces, and curries. Or, use this whole nutmeg to create your own pumpkin pie spice or Garam Masala blend.

Whole Nutmeg – 4 oz. | Bulk | Spice Jungle

Whole Nutmeg – 4 oz. There’s an American legend that sham spice merchants once sold fake nutmeg seeds that were carved from wood to unsuspecting cooks thinking they were getting a solid deal. This led to the term “nutmegger,” which is synonymous with “charlatan.” No worries about our nutmeg. 100% Real. Perfect for your sauces and your cakes. Whole Nutmeg is best when grated prior to adding to a recipe. To do so, utilize a nutmeg or spice grater. Add this spice at the end of cooking, as flavor diminishes with prolonged heat. Nutmeg is fantastic with savory dishes to include braised vegetables, steamed spinach, onion sauces, or pasta. All Natural, Gluten-Free, Kosher Parve, Non-GMO Nutmeg comes from an evergreen tree native to the Spice Islands near Indonesia, but has been cultivated throughout the tropics by both native cultures and foreign. Nutmeg is the nut from the Myristica fragrans tree. The fruit surrounding the nut is often candied or turned into preserves, or juiced and turned into a “nutmeg” syrup. The aril around the nutmeg is the spice we call mace. Nutmeg, however, is the primary harvest. The flavor is warm, rich, and intensely aromatic. Tropic wood, cloves, pine, and camphor are the primary flavors; a warm blanket of a scent if there ever was one. It’s something you can cuddle up in, which is why it’s become so prized in both sweet and savory cooking worldwide. Recommended Applications Nutmeg is fantastic with savory dishes to include braised vegetables, steamed spinach, onion sauces, or pasta.
