Whole nutmeg is the dried seed of the Myristica fragrans tree, prized for its warm, sweetly spicy aroma and complex, nutty flavour. Grating whole nutmeg fresh releases its essential oils, resulting in a more vibrant and aromatic spice compared to pre-ground nutmeg. This makes it a favourite ingredient for cooks seeking to add depth and warmth to both sweet and savoury recipes.
In the kitchen, whole nutmeg is commonly grated into creamy sauces like béchamel, added to baked goods, desserts, and custards, or sprinkled over vegetables such as spinach, potatoes, and pumpkin. It pairs especially well with dairy-based dishes, root vegetables, and classic spice blends, and is also a popular addition to spice rubs and marinades. A little goes a long way, so it’s best used sparingly to enhance the flavour of soups, stews, and even hot beverages like chai and eggnog.
To preserve its freshness and aroma, store whole nutmeg in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
