Why choose whole nutmeg instead of ground nutmeg?
Whole nutmeg retains its essential oils for much longer than ground versions. When grated fresh, it provides a noticeably stronger, more aromatic flavour, making it ideal for dishes where spice quality matters.
How do you grate whole nutmeg properly?
Whole nutmeg can be grated using a fine grater or microplane. Grating only what you need ensures the spice stays fresh, while the fine shavings disperse evenly through dishes for consistent flavour.
What dishes particularly benefit from freshly grated nutmeg?
Fresh nutmeg works especially well in creamy sauces, custards, mashed potatoes, festive bakes and spiced drinks. Its warm, slightly sweet aroma enhances both savoury and sweet recipes without overpowering them.
