Nutmeg Products
Nutmeg is sold whole and ground but the ground nutmeg loses flavor quickly. Nutmeg is best freshly ground. The earthy-sweet flavor is used in baked goods, vegetables, custards and drinks . A whole nutmeg will store for at least a year. Grate fresh nutmeg with a fine grater. Nutmeg is not a nut.
