Cooking with Nutmeg
Grating fresh, whole nutmeg is advised to get the full flavor and taste benefits of the fresh oils because once ground, nutmeg quickly loses the oils that give it its flavor and taste. Every kitchen should have a nutmeg grater as standard equipment; but, if you don't have one, use the finest blade of a bigger hand-held manual grater. Freshly ground nutmeg and commercially ground nutmeg are worlds apart.
Nutmeg, which tastes a little sweeter than mace and is used to make bechamel sauce, also complements baked or stewed fruit, custards, eggnog, punches, curries, sauces (especially those with onions and milk), pasta, and vegetables (especially spinach).
Two to three teaspoons of powdered nutmeg are produced by grating one whole nutmeg. In a pinch, mace can be used in place of nutmeg, and vice versa, but the flavor of the final product will undoubtedly change as a result.
Substitutions
Some Substitutions for Nutmeg are:
Mace
Garam Masala
Pumpkin Pie Spice
Cinnamon
Allspice
Ginger
Ground Cloves
Storage
Whole fresh nutmegs, as well as ground nutmeg and mace, should be kept in a tightly sealed jar or container in a cool, dark place. Wrap leftover fresh nutmeg tightly so the oils are not lost.
