Nutmeg (Pala)
What is nutmeg?
Derived from the seed of the native Indonesian evergreen tree Myristica fragrans, nutmeg is a spice renowned
for its distinctive flavour. It is accompanied by its counterpart, mace, which is the red, delicate covering that
envelops the seed.
Nutmeg offers a milder and sweeter taste compared to mace, which carries a spicier profile reminiscent of a
blend of pepper and cinnamon. While both spices grow together, they are typically used separately in recipes.
Flavour
Nutmeg has a rich and nutty essence, complemented by subtle sweetness. Its intense aroma and robust flavour
make it a standout spice. Those with a more sensitive palate might detect a hint of spiciness in this exquisite
ingredient.
Other names
Also known as Myristica fragrans or Fragrant Nutmeg, our nutmeg spice captures the essence of this timeless
spice that has delighted palates for generations.
Uses
Nutmeg is a popular ingredient in a wide range of desserts and beverages. It adds a warm and aromatic touch
to dishes like butternut pumpkin soup, while also beautifully complementing cream or cheese-based recipes
such as vegetable gratin.
