nutmeg whole

Nutmeg is a spice that comes from the seed of the evergreen nutmeg tree. It is known worldwide for its distinct and slightly sweet aroma. Tip: Drink a cup of warm milk with some freshly grated nutmeg. This will help you achieve relaxation and will induce sleep. It's also commonly used in soups, gravies, beef stews, eggnog, pumpkin pie and apple pie. It's also the key ingredient in a bechamel or white sauce. Nutmeg is high in calcium, iron and potassium and can help relieve insomnia. Store nutmeg in an airtight container in a cool and dry place.
