Nutmeg, Whole, ABCD Select (50 lb case)

India. ABCD select grade. Sterilized. Nutmeg is warm, sweet, and aromatic. Whole nutmeg keeps its oils for years and is grated fresh; ground nutmeg is the bakery, sausage, cream sauce, and eggnog standard. Volatile oil percentage above 6.5–7% signals a high-aroma grade; ABCD select is a sound, clean whole grade. Whole nutmeg consists of the dried seed of Myristica fragrans, delivering a warm, sweet, and slightly spicy aromatic flavor with woody undertones. Prized for its superior freshness and potency when freshly grated, it is widely used in baked goods, béchamel sauces, mulled beverages, and savory dishes. Bakeries, spice processors, food manufacturers, and specialty retailers purchase whole nutmeg in bulk for its extended shelf life compared to pre-ground product.
