Nutmeg (Whole)
ORIGIN: Nutmeg is native to a small cluster of islands in Indonesia, the Banda Islands. The fruit is oval shaped and about an inch long with a tan, brown color. The fruit is split open to reveal the seed, Nutmeg, which is wrapped in a bright red lacy covering called Mace. Both the Nutmeg and Mace have their own distinct flavors. Nutmeg is about 3/4 to 1 inch long and oval shaped with a flavor resembling that of Cardamom, Cinnamon, and Cloves.
FLAVOR: Nutmeg, which is wrapped in a bright red lacy covering called Mace. Both the Nutmeg and Mace have their own distinct flavors.
CUISINE: Both Nutmeg and Mace have a long history in Asian cooking.
USE: Nutmeg should be added toward the end of the cooking process because its flavor diminishes when heated. Nutmeg is great in puddings, eggnog, spiced wine, muffins, apple pie and other sweet dishes. Nutmeg is also wonderful in savory dishes such as pasta, onion sauces, steamed spinach, and braised vegetables.
