Nutmeg – Whole

This brown, egg-shaped whole spice is derived from the large seed of a fruit that grows on the tropical evergreen Myristica fragans. It is commonly ground and used for sauces, soups, vegetables, desserts, and even beverages. Nutmeg can also be a great substitute for other warm spices, like cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice, or mace.
