Ground nutmeg has a rich, warm flavour with sweet clove notes. Centuries ago, European colonies fought over nutmeg kernel production due to its high status. Nowadays nutmeg is used in the western world due to its versatility in both sweet and savoury dishes.
Made by grounding the seeds of the nutmeg tree into a fine powder, ground nutmeg is a good source of nutrients, including fiber, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin B6. Thanks to its wide versatility, you’ll find it added to drinks, sprinkled over baked goods, cookies and cakes, as well as popping up in European, North African and Middle Eastern cuisine. It’s also used in perfumes and cosmetics thanks to its pleasant scent and soothing properties.
Nutmeg is commonly associated with Christmas and is a key ingredient in mince pies and Christmas pudding. It is also used in cheese-based dishes like béchamel sauce or ricotta-stuffed ravioli. Try adding a pinch to sausage stews for a warm, subtle flavour.
