✓ Authentic whole Ceylon nutmeg — warm, sweet & aromatic

Whole dried nutmeg seeds (Myristica fragrans) from Sri Lanka — true nutmeg, best freshly grated. Sweet, warm and fragrant, for baking and cooking.

What It Is

Ceylon Nutmeg is the whole dried seed of Myristica fragrans — "true nutmeg" — grown in Sri Lanka. Whole seeds keep their aroma far longer than pre-ground nutmeg, so you grate what you need, fresh, for the warmest flavour. One seed goes a long way.

Taste & Aroma

Warm, sweet, nutty and woody, with a fragrant, slightly resinous depth. Freshly grated nutmeg is noticeably more aromatic than the pre-ground kind — a little transforms both sweet and savoury dishes.

How to Use It

  • Baking & desserts: a classic in cakes, cookies, pumpkin pie, rice pudding, and custards.
  • Sauces: the traditional grating in béchamel and cheese sauces.
  • Drinks: grated over eggnog, mulled wine, chai, or a coffee/latte.
  • Savoury: a pinch lifts spinach, mashed potato, gratins, soups, and many curries.
  • Fresh is best: grate ¼–½ of a seed per recipe on a fine grater or nutmeg mill.

It pairs classically with cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and ginger.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is true nutmeg?

True nutmeg is the seed of Myristica fragrans. Ours is whole Sri Lankan nutmeg, dried and sold as whole seeds so you can grate it fresh.

Whole seeds or ground — which is better?

Whole seeds. Nutmeg loses its aroma quickly once ground, so grating a whole seed fresh gives a much warmer, more fragrant result — and whole seeds keep for years.

How much should I use?

A little goes a long way — about ¼–½ of a seed, freshly grated, per recipe, adjusted to taste.

What is mace, and how is it related?

Mace is the lacy red covering (aril) around the nutmeg seed — the same fruit yields both. Mace is a little more delicate and citrusy. See our Ceylon Mace.

How should I store it?

In an airtight container, cool and dry, away from sunlight. Whole seeds keep their aroma far longer than ground nutmeg.
