This region is globally recognized in the field of spices for its ancestral know-how and the richness of its heritage. The fruit of the nutmeg tree looks like a small peach. HASWhen ripe, the shell separates into two revealing the nut surrounded by a red aril: mace. After harvesting, the flesh of the fruit and the red aril which contains the seed are removed. The aril, also called nutmeg flower, is then dried and transformed into mace. As for the nuts, they are dried in the sun for several weeks. They are either sold whole or crushed to obtain powdered nutmeg. Very aromatic, ground nutmeg evokes woody, nutty and cinnamon scents. Nutmeg contains essential oils which are responsible for this characteristic sweet flavor. The high oil content makes it easy to retain flavor in all its forms, so all it takes is a pinch of ground nutmeg to spice up your cooking. Well dosed, powdered nutmeg reveals warm notes essential in certain traditional French cuisine recipes such as gratin dauphinois, béchamel or even delicious mashed potatoes. In addition to these classic recipes, nutmeg powder goes very well with potato dishes, eggs, terrines, pasta... It is even used in pastries for jams, compotes, rice pudding, clafoutis or cakes...
