Warm and aromatic with hints of clove, nutmeg has long been a favorite of bakers. Though, its distinctive flavor can enhance a variety of sweet or savory dishes.

We source our Spice Islands® whole nutmeg from the East and West Indies. High in volatile oil content, it’s cryogenically ground to preserve its flavor compounds. The result is a whole nutmeg that very closely matches the flavor of the whole spice.

For the best results, grate your nutmeg as you need it. But keep in mind that our Spice Islands® nutmeg is especially potent, so you may want to use a little less than what’s called for in the recipe.
