WHOLE ORGANIC JAMAICAN NUTMEG

The three whole pieces mean I'm grating fresh nutmeg for the first time instead of shaking powder from a jar, and the smell alone was worth it. A little goes a long way in custard, and the spicy-sweet edge is way stronger than the pre-ground stuff I used to buy.

I grated a bit into my morning smoothie and the flavor is so much brighter than the pre-ground stuff I'd been using. The warmth hits you right away but it's slightly sweet too, not just spicy. Three whole nuts is plenty, these will last me months.

These three whole nuts actually smell like fresh baking spice, not the dusty pre-ground powder I was used to for years. I just grated a bit over a banana smoothie this morning and the sweet warmth completely transformed it.
