Description
Whole nutmegs that look like a small brown egg in shape have a slight odor. However, freshly grated nutmeg is wonderfully fragrant, with only a little need. The advantage of using whole nutmeg is that they store well and can be freshly grated as needed. Western cooking, grated nutmeg gives its aroma to both savory and sweet recipes, from Bechamel sauce or mashed potatoes to baked rice pudding or Custard pies. Use freshly grated nutmeg to enhance dishes like spinach and ricotta pancakes, cauliflower soup or homemade Christmas mince.
