Ground nutmeg and whole nutmeg have a slightly sweet taste and make a wonderful addition to cheese sauce or fondue. It is used often in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines. Use whole Nutmegs in any recipe that calls for the ground form - simply grate and enjoy. Grate the whole nutmeg to add delicate, aromatic flavor to hot beverages, savory dishes such as lamb stew, or baked goods with pumpkin or apple.
