NUTMEG
$8.95
The NUTMEG tree is a native of the Banda Islands, a cluster of small volcanic islands historically known as the Spice Islands and now part of the province of Molucca in Indonesia. Nutmeg isn't really a nut, but the kernel of an apricot-like fruit. It has a sweet, pungent aroma.
SUGGESTED USES:
NUTMEG is used in cooking as a freshly grated topping. It is wonderful on fruit, oatmeal, whipped cream, and green vegetables, notably brussels sprouts and spinach. It is also wonderful as an addition to a pasta sauce, or in baking.
We recommend that you buy whole Nutmeg, as it contains a lot of volatile oils which are lost when ground. Whole nutmegs will last up to 3 years when stored correctly (in an airtight container).
