Whole nutmeg, in the shell. As with many spices, the flavor and subtleties of nutmeg are preserved best in the whole fruit and only grated when ready to use (includes ~5-7 individual seed kernels).
This slightly sweet, warming spice is the key ingredient in a number of dishes and is a pantry staple for any home cook. Try something new and fun while you have it on hand! Like a spicy Indonesian soup or meat-filled tortellini.
