Badia Nutmeg Ground Spice, 2 oz

Ground nutmeg — the warm, woody, slightly sweet seed of the nutmeg tree, milled fine and ready to measure. A 2 oz jar covers a holiday baking season or a year of weeknight finishing.

Common Uses

Whisk into béchamel for lasagna, mac and cheese, or moussaka — nutmeg is what makes white sauce taste like more than milk. Grate into pumpkin pie, apple crisp, eggnog, and rice pudding. Essential in Jamaican rum punch, Trinidadian sweet bread, and the meat seasoning for Bolognese. A pinch in spinach, sweet potatoes, or buttered carrots.

Cuisine Context

Nutmeg sits at the crossroads of Caribbean and Mediterranean cooking — Grenada built an economy on it, Italian nonnas keep it next to the salt, and bakers everywhere reach for it from October through January. It's the spice that says cozy.

Pro Tip

Add nutmeg at the end of cooking creamy sauces, not the beginning. Long heat flattens its aroma; a final pinch off the burner keeps it lifted.
