It is National Nut Day!! Happy Nut Day!
Nutmeg essential oil is steam distilled from the fruits and seeds of the Myristica fragrans plant indigenous to Indonesia. It has a warm, spicy aroma similar to ground nutmeg and lots of benefits for the body. It pairs well with other essential oils like Cinnamon Bark, Orange, Clove, Lavender, and Ginger.
Substitute Nutmeg essential oil for ground nutmeg in recipes by following these guidelines:
• Start with less than you think you will need. Nutmeg essential oil has a stronger flavor than the ground spice. Begin with small amounts of oil and then increase until the desired flavor preference has been reached.
• Add Nutmeg to recipes by dipping a toothpick in the oil, then swirling it in the recipe to blend with other ingredients.
• Nutmeg is great in both savory and sweet dishes! Try it in pasta dishes, soups, milkshakes, and baked treats.
