The seed of the nutmeg tree, a whole Nutmeg typically measures around 2cm in length and is fairly hard. To use it you will need to finely grate it using a nutmeg grater or the finest cut on a box grater. The seed is wonderful grated onto both sweet and savoury dishes. Add it to milky puddings – a rice pudding isn’t complete without it – grate it into creamed potatoes, roasted squash or freshly wilted spinach. It is also equally at home grated into a Caribbean cocktail, or in a warming winter toddy. During the natural storing of the Whole Nutmeg, a light film can occur over the Nutmeg. This is a natural occurrence and there will always be some variation between batches of the natural Organic product.
