Nutmeg – Ground 250g

Description

Nutmeg or Myristica fragrans is an evergreen tree from the Banda Islands in the Moluccas of Indonesia, or Spice Islands.

Nutmeg is the actual seed of the tree.

Nutmeg and mace have similar taste qualities, nutmeg having a slightly sweeter and mace a more delicate flavor.

Mace is often preferred in light dishes for the bright orange, saffron-like hue it imparts.

Nutmeg is a tasty addition to cheese sauces and is best grated fresh.

Nutmeg is a traditional ingredient in mulled cider, mulled wine, and eggnog.
