Nutmeg is the seed of Myristica fragrans,
an evergreen tree native to the Molucca
Islands. Regal Whole Nutmeg has a
sweet, pungent aroma, and a slightly bitter
after taste.
Regal Whole Nutmeg is a mild baking
spice used in sausages, meats, soups,
and preserves. Nutmeg is commonly
added to eggnog, puddings, and fruit pies.
It is popular in the Netherlands and Italy,
where it is used in vegetables, puddings,
and stews. The sweet but slightly bitter
flavor of nutmeg adds character to
vegetables. A little goes a long way so try
1/8 tsp (ground) per 4 servings to start.
Just grate these whole nutmegs with one
of our handheld graters and sprinkle it
lightly over veal, fish, or chicken for a
surprising snap. Use as a topping for
whipped cream, and custard. Regal Whole
Nutmeg is an ideal baking spice and is
especially complimentary in sweet breads,
cakes, muffins, and cookies. You can
substitute 1 tsp ground nutmeg for about 1
whole nutmeg. Sold in an 8 oz. bottle.
