Nutmegs -extra large-, organic

What makes our nutmeg so special?Years ago, we started planting Papua nutmeg at Chalakudy on the nearby Periyar River, together with a smallholder project from India. We specifically chose this type because we believe it is the most beautiful and aromatic nutmeg variety. Only these nutmegs make it into the can for us. This ensures that they have a high proportion of essential oils and are very easy to rub. The nuts are selected by hand and gently dried. We grind the smaller ones fresh and use them in our mixtures. In this way, the entire harvest is used. Ultimately, this makes the difference that you not only see, but also taste. Highest quality at a fair price By importing the nutmeg directly and without any intermediaries, we can achieve particularly high quality at a very attractive price offer value for money. In order to be able to guarantee consistently high quality, we take great care to ensure that the nuts have excellent analytical values. We have every batch comprehensively analyzed by the accredited laboratory for harmful substances such as pesticides and mycotoxins. What does nutmeg go with? A pinch of nutmeg gives potato dishes such as mashed potatoes, baked potatoes and potato pancakes a wonderful aroma. Their finely spicy taste also makes traditional dishes such as spinach, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower, soups, stews and pies a special treat. Cherry or apple pie, rice pudding and semolina porridge, drinking chocolate, punch and mulled wine also refine the nutmeg. In Christmas dishes and pastries such as biscuits, biscuits, speculoos and gingerbread, nutmeg provides a pleasantly tart contrast to the sweet notes that prevail there. Our insider tip: What many people don’t know is that nutmeg also goes wonderfully with vegetable and meat dishes from Indian cuisine such as for example chicken masala and fish curries. How do I season with nutmeg and what should I watch out for with the dosage? Nutmeg should be used sparingly as it has a very strong aroma. Here less is more. The aroma develops best when the nutmeg is freshly ground in a nutmeg grater or grinder and only added to the food at the end of the cooking time. Otherwise, their aroma can quickly evaporate. Used as a home remedy, it helps against diarrhea. Doses that are too high can lead to severe discomfort and hallucinations (from 3g). Nutmeg can be stored for a long time if it is dry and protected from sunlight.
