Omega Nutmeg Powder: warm ground nutmeg for béchamel, custards, spice cakes and masalas. Single 1 kg pack.
Nutmeg powder is ground nutmeg seed with a sweet, warm and slightly woody aroma. A light grating flavours béchamel, lasagne, spinach dishes, mashed potatoes and creamy soups, and it is a classic in custards, warm spiced milk, rice pudding, pumpkin pie and spice cakes. In Indian and Arabic cooking it appears in garam masala, biryani and baharat blends. Nutmeg is potent, so a small pinch is usually enough for a whole dish; larger amounts are not recommended. Nutmeg is the seed of trees of the genus Myristica, and the same fruit also gives mace. Ground nutmeg loses fragrance noticeably faster than whole nuts, so keep this powder tightly sealed. Its warm scent also suits spinach pie, meatballs, pumpkin soup and baked custard tarts.
