Organic Ground Nutmeg, Myristica fragrans, is an organically grown and processed, fine brown powder produced from the whole nutmeg. It is also called organic nutmeg, organic nutmeg powder, or nutmeg organic. It has an essential oil content of 6.5% to 16%.

Nutmeg is the seed of a fruit of a fruiting evergreen tree. A fibrous red casing grows around the seed, which can be easily separated and dried. That red casing is also used as a spice, Mace, which has a more delicate flavor than the nutmeg seed.

Organic Ground Nutmeg is popular with: 

• butchers; 
• coffee shops; 
• seasoning companies; 
• independent spice shops; and 
• bakeries

2-3 teaspoons of ground nutmeg are approximately equal to one whole nutmeg.

We also have conventional Ground Nutmeg and conventional Whole Nutmeg available.

How To Use

Use Organic Ground Nutmeg as a garnish for eggnog, as it pairs well with cinnamon and clove. Add it to Chai Spiced Overnight Oats for a hearty breakfast, or to Pineapple Zucchini Quick Bread. Organic Ground Nutmeg also works well in savory dishes like Spanish Shrimp Tapas or as a playful element in Sweet Twist Potato Skins. It is a secret weapon in sauteed greens like spinach and kale. 

Organic Ground Nutmeg is usually added at the end of recipes. Nutmeg's essential oils break down quickly when exposed to heat, which diminishes flavor and aroma. 

Pair Organic Ground Nutmeg with chocolate, fruit, vanilla, coconut milk, lemongrass, chiles, paprika, clove, turmeric, and coriander. 

Organic Ground Nutmeg goes with pork, chicken, creams and cheeses, leafy greens, tomatoes, broccoli, onions, beans, and eggplant. It is often found in DIY spice rubs, pies, cocktails and mocktails, soups, stews, baked goods, pasta dishes, potato dishes, and biscuits.
