Fresh Whole Nutmeg keeps indefinitely. It's commonly used both ground and grated in sweet or savory applications. With desserts or sweets, it's most often used in recipes for cakes, pies, pastries or baked breads. Whole nutmeg typically pairs well alongside anything with ginger or cinnamon in it. In savory foods, nutmeg can be used to season lamb, veal or vegetables. It also goes really well in stews and pasta sauces like a béchamel.
