Heera Nutmeg Whole 100g

£3.49

Prices checked

Whole nutmeg releases a warm, sweet aroma the moment it meets a fine grater. A few strokes over a micro grater or nutmeg mill give a fresh, fragrant dust far stronger than ready-ground versions. The whole seed keeps that punch locked in until you need it. Grate it straight into a white sauce for a classic bechamel, or dust it over creamed spinach and mashed potato for a familiar, comforting finish. It works well stirred through rice pudding, custard or a milky porridge, and a light grating lifts mulled wine or a spiced hot chocolate. Bakers use it in fruit cakes, buns and biscuit doughs, where it blends into the mix rather than sitting on top. Because it is sold whole, the flavour holds far longer than pre-ground nutmeg. Grate only what a recipe needs and keep the rest of the seed for next time. Store in an airtight container, away from direct light and heat, to keep the aroma strong. A small handful of whole seeds goes a long way, so this pack should last through plenty of sauces, bakes and warming winter drinks.
