ground nutmeg

Pulverized baking spice

Ground nutmeg is the powdered form of the nutmeg seed, used as a spice.

Whole nutmeg is grated or milled into this fine, aromatic powder for baking and cooking.

It flavors custards, eggnog, béchamel sauce, and spice blends.

Ground nutmeg loses potency faster than whole nutmeg, so cooks often grate it fresh.
