Nutmeg
The Spice Island of Grenada grows the finest nutmeg in the
world. Until recently, this Grenadian nutmeg could not be commercially ground
because of its extremely high and flavorful essential oil content. We are
very fortunate to be able to offer this nutmeg, whole and ground. When using
the ground Grenadian nutmeg, use 2/3 of what the recipe calls for, as it
is very potent. Both Grenadian and East Indian ground nutmeg are easy to
use and flavorful-perfect for sausage-making, syrups, and fresh fruit. The
whole nutmeg are very large, about 80 per lb. (5-6 nutmeg per oz.), making
them easier to hold and grate by hand. Ten seconds of rubbing on a small-holed
grater will yield ½ tsp. of fresh, flavorful nutmeg which is the perfect
topping for cheese dishes- from sauces, to quiche, to mac 'n' cheese. Nutmeg
is a must for barbecue sauce. In Europe, nutmeg is used atop most baked
goods, hot beverages, and in cream sauces for noodles.
