Description
Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) is one of those rare spices that bridges cultures and cuisines effortlessly. It is as essential in a Canadian pumpkin pie as it is in an Indian chai and as valued in a French béchamel sauce as in a Middle Eastern lamb stew. Its warm, sweet, and slightly woody flavor adds depth and complexity to both sweet and savory dishes.
Organicmantra obtains its nutmeg from certified organic farms in India, where the fruit of the Myristica fragrans tree is harvested, the outer mace layer is separated, and the inner seed (nutmeg) is carefully dried and ground into a fine, fragrant powder.
Nutmeg powder pairs beautifully with our cinnamon cassia powder and green cardamom powder for holiday baking, chai blends, and warming spice mixes. A little goes a long way; nutmeg is a potent spice best used in small quantities.

Have You Heard?
Nutmeg was once so valuable that in the 17th century, the Dutch traded the entire island of Manhattan to the British in exchange for control of Run Island in Indonesia, the world's primary nutmeg source at the time. In Ayurveda, nutmeg is considered a warming spice used to support sleep and calm the mind when taken in very small amounts with warm milk before bedtime.
FAQs:
1. How much nutmeg should I use?
Nutmeg is a potent spice. For most recipes, 1/4 teaspoon or less is sufficient. In beverages, a small pinch is enough. Nutmeg should always be used in moderation.
2. What is the difference between nutmeg powder and whole nutmeg?
Nutmeg powder is pre-ground for convenience. Whole nutmeg can be freshly grated using a microplane or nutmeg grater, which delivers the most intense aroma and flavor. Both are certified organic and sourced from the same farms.
