Nutmeg, native to the Banda Islands of Indonesia (commonly referred to as the Spice Islands), is the seed of a fruit produced by an evergreen tree. This unique tree is one of a few plants that produce two spices, nutmeg, and mace, which is the protective outer layer of the nutmeg.
Nutmeg has a fresh, warm aroma and a woody, bittersweet flavor with hints of clove. It pairs well both sweet and savory spices.
Grind or grate and add to baked goods like breads, pies, pastries, and fruit dishes. Try with lamb, veal, and veggies and in stews and pasta sauce.
When used in cakes, breads, pastries, fruit dishes and pies, it pairs well with ginger, cinnamon and cloves. When used in lamb, mutton, meat stews, spinach dishes, veal, vegetable recipes and even pasta sauces, it pairs well with cumin, coriander, pepper and thyme.
