Whole Nutmeg adds zest to all vegetables and potatoes. Especially wonderful in quiche or spinach. Delicious sprinkled over eggnog. Grate nutmeg over pudding, custard, apple or pear desserts. Important ingredient found in Italian and Dutch cookery. Use in cakes, cheese or onion sauces.
As most recipes call for ground nutmeg, use twice as much freshly ground nutmeg as your recipe calls for.
