Nutmeg - Ground

Ground nutmeg is frequently used in many dishes from Asia, Europe, India, Latin America, and the Middle East. Great with braised vegetables, onion sauces, pasta, apple pie, pudding, eggnog, or any other sweet dish. In the southern states, a dash of nutmeg is crucial to macaroni and cheese, and in the Caribbean nutmeg is used as a garnish for several rum-based drinks. This spice should be added near the end of cooking as the flavor disintegrates with heat.
