Nutmeg (ground)

Nutmeg is a warm, slightly sweet spice made from the ground seed of the nutmeg tree, with a distinctive, slightly woody, aromatic flavour. It is used in both sweet baking and savoury dishes like béchamel sauce and spinach preparations, typically in small amounts due to its strong flavour. Freshly grated whole nutmeg has a noticeably more vibrant aroma than pre-ground nutmeg.

Grinding reduces an ingredient to a fine, even texture that generally packs more densely than a whole or crushed form.
