Nutmeg
Culinary Spice
Used mainly to enhance flavor in sweet and savory dishes, notably in holiday recipes.
Nutmeg is a key ingredient in pumpkin pie.
Small Amounts
It's potent, so recipes often require just a small amount, like a 'pinch' or 'dash'.
Just a dash of nutmeg can elevate your béchamel sauce.
Fresh vs. Ground
Available both ground and as a whole seed; fresher flavor when grated directly from the seed.
Freshly grated nutmeg is more aromatic than the pre-ground spice.
