Badia Nutmeg Whole 2 oz

Whole nutmeg seeds from Badia — grated fresh on a microplane, they hold far more aroma than pre-ground tins that have been sitting open.

Common Uses: finishing grate over natilla, arroz con leche, and flan; warm spice in croqueta béchamel; baseline for holiday baking (cakes, custards, bread puddings); a pinch in picadillo for backbone.

Pantry Role: finishing sauce accent and baking staple — grated to order rather than measured from a jar.

Common In: Cuban dessert kitchens, Caribbean baking, European custard work, holiday tables at Noche Buena and Christmas.

Pairs With: canela (cinnamon stick), cloves, vanilla, evaporated milk, egg yolks, and the béchamel base for ham croquetas.

Ships nationwide. Buy whole seeds once and skip the stale pre-ground for a year.
