Description
Nutmeg lovely Nutmeg, for sure one of the flavours of winter
Nutmegs are a wonderful seed from Indonesia with three parts - the outer shell, Mace covering the seed and the seed itself
Nutmeg powder is the seed only or it should be, some producers use the only shell, mace and seed in nutmeg powder as its "just quicker" than processing the whole seed into its components
This produces a slightly bitter flavour, our nutmeg powder is processed correctly, the shell is not used, mace is separated and the seed is dried and powdered to produce a wonderful warming sweet nutty flavour
Nutmeg is great in deserts, soups and sauces, used sparingly it provides a a flavour enhancer to meat and veg
Grown in Indonesia

Nutmeg Ground Powder - Quick Reference
What is it?: Ground nutmeg is the finely milled seed of Myristica fragrans, ready to blend directly into sweet and savoury recipes.
Flavour: Warm, sweet and woody with camphorous, clove-like and gently peppery notes.
Common uses: Baking, custards, rice pudding, bechamel, mashed potato, spinach, sausages, Caribbean dishes and festive drinks.
Pairs well with: Cinnamon, cloves, mace, ginger, cardamom, vanilla, dairy, potato, pumpkin and dark leafy greens.
How to use: Add in small amounts and build gradually. Ground nutmeg disperses quickly, so it is best stirred in during cooking or baking rather than used as a heavy finishing spice.
Compare with: More rounded and sweet than mace, which is lighter, more floral and slightly sharper.
Substitute: Mace is the closest substitute, although it gives a more delicate and aromatic result.
Storage: Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from light to preserve its volatile oils.
Good to know: Because nutmeg is naturally powerful, a little can change a dish noticeably; measure it rather than adding by eye.

My go too site for herbs and spices
I can't recommend them enough. The quality and range of their herbs and spices is great. The product is much fresher than the small jars in the supermarket and they deliver quickly every time. You will also get regular money-offs that canel out the shipping cost.
