Nutmeg has a long history of use as a spice, with recorded evidence that the ancient Romans and Greeks enjoyed its warm, aromatic flavor and aroma.

Ground nutmeg stores well as long as it kept away from direct light and heat, and offers an easy way to dispense the spice into foods and beverages. In addition to being a popular spice in Middle Eastern cuisine, nutmeg pairs especially well with potato, spinach, pasta, cheese, sausage, ground beef, pumpkin and hot cereals.
