Re: A question re: whole nutmeg

I never buy the powder nutmeg since I purchased this grater from Sur La Table a few years ago. I only buy whole.

Re: A question re: whole nutmeg

I bought whole nutmeg from Penzey's a few years ago! I had always used the powder. I forget the size I bought but I wanted to make sure I had enough I had to give most of it away it was so much!! Mine came in a sealed bag but I put it in a bottle to store in the cabinet. I use a grater and like everyone else, it doesn't take much! And yes, no need to "peel" it before grating it!

Re: A question re: whole nutmeg

I've never seen nutmeg with the 'skin' on. Only in pictures, it's a thing strange looking cover which is what mace is.
