Freshly grated nutmeg delivers a significantly brighter, more aromatic flavor than pre-ground versions.

Once nutmeg is ground, the essential oils that give it that warm, sweet, slightly spicy character begin to evaporate.

With whole nutmeg seeds, you grate only what you need, so every dish gets the full intensity of flavor.

Customers consistently describe DRUERA nutmeg as "exceptional" with a "bright, lively flavor" that makes a real difference in recipes.

Nutmeg without shell (this product) gives you the ready-to-use kernel, so you can grate it immediately with a microplane or nutmeg grater.

Nutmeg with shell has an extra protective layer that extends shelf life even further, but requires cracking the shell before use.

If you plan to use your nutmeg regularly and want maximum convenience, without shell is the better choice.

If you're buying in bulk for long-term storage, with shell offers additional protection.

This nutmeg is organically grown in the hill country of central Sri Lanka (Ceylon).

The nutmeg tree was introduced to Sri Lanka in the early nineteenth century from its native Moluccas in Indonesia, and the island's climate and soil conditions have proven ideal for producing high-quality spice.

DRUERA ships fresh spices directly from Ceylon within days of harvest, which is why the flavor is so much more vibrant than nutmeg that has spent months in warehouses.

Nutmeg is incredibly versatile. Use it in baked goods like pies, cakes, cookies, and holiday treats.

It's essential in classic bechamel sauce, creamy pasta dishes, and cheese-based recipes.

Grate it over eggnog, mulled wine, or hot chocolate. It adds depth to spinach dishes, mashed potatoes, and squash.

A little goes a long way, so start with a small amount and add more to taste.

DRUERA offers two sizes: 4 oz (114g) and 1 lb (453g).

The 4 oz size is perfect for home cooks who want to try freshly grated nutmeg or use it occasionally.

The 1 lb size offers better value for those who cook frequently or want to stock up.

Whole nutmeg seeds store well for years when kept in a cool, dry place.

DRUERA only serves retail customers, which allows them to hold minimal stock and ship fresh spices directly from Ceylon within days of harvest.

Store-bought nutmeg often sits in warehouses and on shelves for months or years, losing potency over time.

One customer specifically noted that DRUERA nutmeg is "not your standard wooden Connecticut nutmeg," referring to the notoriously flavorless fake nutmegs that were once sold to unsuspecting buyers. The difference in freshness and flavor is immediately noticeable.
