Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is this different from supermarket nutmeg? A: Our Ceylon nutmeg contains 5-13% myristicin vs 3-8% in regular varieties, offers more complex flavor, and comes as whole seeds that maintain potency much longer than pre-ground alternatives.

Q: How much nutmeg should I use? A: Start with a small pinch of freshly grated nutmeg. A little goes a very long way - ¼ of a whole seed is often enough for a recipe serving 4-6 people.

Q: Is it safe to eat nutmeg daily? A: Yes, in normal culinary amounts (small pinches). However, nutmeg contains potent compounds, so moderation is important. Never exceed ½ whole seed per day.

Q: How should I store whole nutmeg? A: Store in airtight containers in cool, dry places. Whole seeds maintain quality for 5+ years when properly stored, far longer than ground nutmeg.

Q: Should I buy whole or ground nutmeg? A: Always choose whole nutmeg when possible. Freshly grated nutmeg has dramatically superior flavor and aroma compared to pre-ground, which loses potency quickly.
