ORGANIC NUTMEG, whole

For the most intense flavour and longest freshness, use our whole Nutmeg kernels. Despite the name, nutmeg is technically the pit of a fruit similar to an apricot, requiring a specialized drying process lasting six to eight weeks. This careful cultivation and harvesting results in a spice with a rich, aromatic, sweet, woody flavour that carries distinct hints of clove.

Choosing the whole kernel ensures the freshest flavour possible, as it is only released when you grate it. Whole nutmeg has a significantly longer shelf life than pre-ground varieties, sealing in the volatile oils until needed. Use it to add its signature warmth to a wide variety of baking recipes, including seasonal pies and custards. It also pairs nicely with savory dishes, especially root vegetables and dark meats. This essential, whole spice is the secret ingredient for professional-level aroma and depth in both sweet and savory cooking.
