    Tips on buying quality nutmeg

    Our recommendation is to to buy whole nutmeg whenever possible. Powdered nutmeg is often made using old and unsightly pieces of mace. There are even grades of nutmeg in industry known as broken and weeviled! Literally nutmeg that has been chewed through by bacteria before. This is the most popular grade used for powdering nutmeg, simply because after powdering, the broken and weeviled sections are completely hidden. Good quality nutmeg is very large and heavy, around 5 grams per nutmeg. At this size, there is much more variety of flavour and aroma, which will instantly perfume a room the second nutmeg is ground. In case you’re unsure, please refer to our quality and grade standards here when buying good quality whole nutmeg.
