Nutmeg comes from an evergreen tree native to the Banda Islands. It has a colorful history involving colonial powers who commited outrageous acts to preserve their monopoly on this spice. The aroma of nutmeg is a favorite of chefs everywhere. Our whole nutmeg yields that terrific flavor and aroma you're looking for in baking. Don't let the nutmeg fun stop there, use it as a topping on cheese dishes, in BBQ sauces, smoothies and on green beans.
