Nutmeg

Nutmeg is the seed of an evergreen tree indigenous to Indonesia. Nutmeg is sold without its mace shell and has a nutty, warm and slightly sweet flavour. It is not extensively used in Indian cooking although is one of the secret ingredients of Brilliant’s garam masala blend, which dates back almost 70 years. Nutmeg pairs well with green cardamom especially when preparing Indian desserts or desserts that require the Indian touch. Nutmeg is said to improve concentration and soothe aching muscles and joints.
