Nutmeg, Ground Organic (Sold In Bulk)

Nutmeg powder is made from the ground seeds of the nutmeg tree (Myristica fragrans), a spice that’s often used in both sweet and savory dishes. It has a warm, slightly sweet, and spicy flavor with a hint of earthiness, making it a versatile addition to a wide variety of recipes.

Here are some common uses for nutmeg powder:

1. Baking: Nutmeg is a classic ingredient in baked goods like pies (especially pumpkin pie), cakes, muffins, cookies, and breads. It adds a cozy, aromatic warmth to desserts.

2. Beverages: It’s often sprinkled on top of drinks like eggnog, hot chocolate, or chai lattes for extra flavor. Nutmeg is also used in cocktails, particularly in drinks like mulled wine or rum punches.

3. Savory Dishes: Nutmeg can be added to savory dishes like soups, stews, curries, and sauces. It pairs particularly well with cream-based dishes or with ingredients like spinach, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

4. Seasoning Blends: Nutmeg is commonly included in spice blends such as garam masala, pumpkin spice, or allspice, and it enhances the flavors of dishes that include other warm spices like cinnamon, cloves, or ginger.

5. Breakfast: Sprinkle a little nutmeg on oatmeal, yogurt, or pancakes for a flavorful start to the day.

Nutmeg is potent, so a little goes a long way. It's often used in small quantities (a pinch or 1/4 teaspoon at a time), especially when cooking or baking.

Nutmeg also has a history of being used for its potential health benefits, including digestive support and as a mild sleep aid.
