Nutmeg from Bowatte, in a 50 g pack. Nutmeg is the seed of the evergreen Myristica fragrans tree, with a warm, sweet and nutty flavour that is used in kitchens across the world.
How it is used
- Grated or ground over baked goods, custards and puddings
- Added to creamy sauces, soups and vegetable dishes
- Ground into masala and other spice blends
Only a small amount is needed, as the flavour is strong.
In the pack
Nutmeg, 50 g. The listing does not say whether it is whole or ground; see the label.
Storage
Keep closed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Whole nutmeg keeps its aroma longest when grated just before use.
