Nutmeg WHOLE (per 25g)

Whole nutmeg adds a warm, sweet fragrance to everyday cooking and baking. Sourced from the nutmeg tree, it is the seed used for flavour, while the dried outer covering is known as mace.

Why choose whole nutmeg?

Freshly grated whole nutmeg gives a richer taste than ready-ground spice and works well when you want a fuller finish. It is a simple ground nutmeg alternative for recipes where a little extra aroma makes all the difference.

How to use nutmeg in sweet and savoury dishes

• Add a small grating to milk puddings, custards and rice pudding.
• Stir into cakes, pastries and festive desserts for gentle spice.
• Use in pumpkin soups, creamy sauces and vegetable dishes.
• Finish white sauce, pasta bakes, bolognese or stir-fried vegetables with a light touch.
• Try a pinch over cappuccinos or hot chocolate for a cosy flavour boost.

Best uses for home baking

Whole nutmeg is especially popular in baking because it blends smoothly into sweet mixtures. Grate it fresh into sponge batters, fruit pies and pastry fillings to bring out a soft, rounded spice note.

Simple savoury flavour ideas

For savoury dishes, use whole nutmeg sparingly so it supports the other ingredients rather than overpowering them. It pairs well with creamy sauces, root vegetables, cheese-based dishes and classic comfort food.

Tips

• Grate only what you need for the best aroma.
• Use a fine grater or spice mill for quick preparation.

Allergen Information

As a bulk foods store, despite maintaining a Five-Star Food Hygiene rating, the presence of allergens cannot be fully eliminated. Sacks of products containing allergens are opened and closed daily as we scoop and refill our shop dispensers. We use separate scoops for each product and store each product in its own container or original sack — however, products containing allergens are not stored or packed in a self-contained area.

This means all products may contain traces of allergens due to cross-contamination.

Where a product is indicated as free from a particular allergen, this means it has not been formulated from or wholly derived from that ingredient. Allergen handling procedures are in place throughout our supply chain to minimise the risk of cross-contamination, but this cannot be guaranteed.

If you have a severe food allergy, please contact us before ordering so we can advise whether our products are suitable for you.

If you are unsure whether a product is suitable for your allergy, please contact us before purchasing.
