Yes, you can freeze whole nutmeg, although it's not commonly done. Freezing can help preserve its flavor and aroma for a longer period. However, for best results, it's recommended to store nutmeg in a cool, dark place in an airtight container, as freezing may alter its texture. If you choose to freeze it, be sure to use it within a year for optimal flavor.

What spice comes from nutmeg?

Two spices come from the fruit of the nutmeg tree (Myristica fragrans); they are nutmeg and mace.Nutmeg is the kernel, or seed, which is sold either ground or whole. The flavour of ready-ground nutmeg, like all pre-ground spices, lacks flavour and body; it is much better to buy whole nutmeg and grind it as needed: it's easy to grind using a nutmeg grinder (from kitchenware stores and departments) or the starburst or fine-grating section of an ordinary kitchen grater, or you can simply scrape it with a serrated knife.Mace is the aril, or seed-covering, of the nutmeg seed, and is nearly always sold ground as a red-brown powder or in 'blades', which are simply fine strips of the aril. Mace is a little sweeter than nutmeg, and less pungently aromatic.Both spices are interchangeable in recipes, and are used in preparing both sweet and savory foods.Either spice may be sprinkled on top of frothy or creamy drinks and desserts as a garnish. Nutmeg or mace used to infuse liquids such as milk are better left whole if the liquid is to be strained after infusion; the flavour will be better and they are easy to remove.Nutmeg is also used to produce essential oils for culinary, cosmetic and medicinal use, as well as for making nutmeg butter, used for culinary purposed and as a lubricant.


What are the black specs in nutmeg seasoning?

The black specs in nutmeg seasoning are typically fragments of the nutmeg seed itself, which can include the outer shell or other plant material. These specks are natural and do not indicate spoilage or contamination. Nutmeg is often ground from whole seeds, and the presence of these particles is common in freshly ground or less refined nutmeg products. If the seasoning is finely sifted, the black specs may be less noticeable.
