Nutmeg
ground
Ground nutmeg has a sharp and slightly bitter taste with a unique aroma. It gives an exciting taste to spicy dishes, sweet desserts and drinks. In short, nutmeg is indispensable in every gourmet's kitchen.
The name of the spice is misleading because the plant does not belong to the nut family. The seeds used as a spice are an evergreen tree termi with dark green leaves that can grow up to 12 meters tall. Ground nutmeg, as a spice, refers to the dried and ground seeds extracted from the fruit of the tree.
