Nutmeg, ground

A  seed from a tropical evergreen.  Found mostly in pre-ground form, it will lose it’s flavor quickly this way.  Used in sweet and savory dishes the world over.

Suggested uses: Good with baked goods, fruits, cheeses, and a host of veggies from broccoli to squash.  Also pairs well with eggs from eggnog to savory spinach & cheese omelets.
