Badia Nutmeg Whole 16 oz

Whole nutmeg seeds from Badia, grated fresh as needed for baking and béchamel-style sauces. Whole seeds hold their oils far longer than pre-ground nutmeg, which loses aroma within months of milling.

Common Uses: grated over natilla, arroz con leche, and flan; warm spice note in croquetas de jamón béchamel; baking spice for tres leches, pound cakes, and holiday cookies; finishing dust on eggnog and café con leche.

Pantry Role: baking staple, finishing sauce seasoning.

Common In: Cuban, Caribbean, Spanish, and pan-Latin kitchens — particularly desserts and the milk-based sauces inside croquetas.

Pairs With: canela, clavo de olor, vainilla, leche condensada, and Badia ground cinnamon for full baking-spice coverage.

The 16 oz jar is a long-haul size for serious bakers and Cuban cafeterias. Ships nationwide.
