Nutmeg Kernels, Whole

Whole nutmeg kernels have a rich, warm flavour with sweet clove notes. Historically, nutmeg kernels were so highly valued that European colonies fought over their production in the spice islands of Indonesia.

Nutmeg kernels are a good source of nutrients, including fiber, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin B6. Traditionally, they’ve been used to treat health problems such as including digestive issues and insomnia. Their reddish-brown membrane is known as mace, which is often dried and used as its own spice in cooking.

Nutmeg kernels are small, beige and egg-shaped. They have minimal smell but once grated become highly fragrant. Nutmeg is hugely popular in the western world within sweet and savoury dishes such as mashed potatoes, rice pudding, high-end sausage making and cheese sauces such as béchamel.

Nutmegs are a prized spice often used in high-end cuisine thanks to their unique and complex flavour that adds depth and richness to a wide variety of dishes.
