Nutmeg - Ground

Description

The fruit of the nutmeg tree produces two edible spices - the nutmeg nut and the outer covering, mace. A whole nutmeg can be stored for years and when grated fresh ensures the strongest flavor (sweet and warm), while pre-ground is more convenient. Nutmeg is traditionally used in baking, but also adds flavor to cheese sauces, pasta fillings, spinach, and fish.
