Nutmeg whole

Product detailed description

The true nutmeg or fragrant nutmeg is an evergreen, strongly aromatic tree growing up to 15 m tall. Its homeland is Indonesia, but today it is also cultivated in many other countries with a tropical climate. The crown of the tree is conical, symmetrically distributed with leathery and pointed leaves.
It has pale yellow flowers, from which spherical to pear-shaped berries ripen. The berry contains a seed - the so-called nutmeg (nut), which is wrapped in a fleshy, deep red sac.

Nutmeg is used in cooking as a spice, but also for phytotherapeutic purposes. It is a very distinctive spice with a pungent aroma and distinctive taste.

Nutmeg supports digestion, appetite and contributes to maintaining normal muscle and joint function.

Usage:
Nutmeg is suitable for vegetables, soups, pasta or sauces. We recommend trying it with meat, potatoes or in spiced desserts (e.g. gingerbread) or Christmas cookies.

Storage: Keep dry and close carefully.
