Nutmeg Powder Organic 25g

Organic Nutmeg lovely Nutmeg, for sure one of the flavours of winter

Organic Nutmegs are a wonderful seed from Indonesia with three parts - the outer shell, Mace covering the seed and the seed itself

Organic 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

Organic Nutmeg is great in deserts, soups and sauces, used sparingly it provides a a flavour enhancer to meat and veg
