5-star all the way! Won't use ground again
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2019
I was glad to see that these were well-packaged. The seeds (nuts?) were inside a sealed bag. I do with the bag was resealable but I am just storing the seeds in the fridge in a sealed mason jar with one of those little packs of desiccant.USING the WHOLE NUTMEG was a mystery to me since this is my first time. I was just grating the entire nut -which wasn't awful. What I learned from a cooking website is that the proper way is to "take your whole nutmeg and crack the shell open by smashing it. I find that pressing the nutmeg on a wood cutting board with the flat edge of a knife the best way to crack the shell." Alrighty then.I also learned that the outer part (before you crack the seed) is what's called Mace. I actually have some ground mace from a place here on Amazon and I LOVE it. Apparently, it's the inner part of the seed that is the nutmeg part. Who knew?Cracking the nutmeg is almost impossible using a little hammer (and not trying to damage my counter or floor), but squeezing it is easier. Just be careful to place the tool and seed inside a baggie before squeezing so that nutmeg doesn't fly all over your kitchen. Yep, I did this. The upside is that my kitchen immediately smelled AMAZING.I am not sure if the inside of the seed is supposed to be softer or not (mine wasn't) but it was just as hard as the uncracked nut while I was grating it.GRATING it is not awful, I didn't have a special tool so I used the little grater that came with a set. It might even be the right tool because it's too small for me to use anything else. To be honest, I had been using it to prop up pans when my burner was crooked...The OUTER part when I grated some into my coffee was nice. Very mild but nice. Once I cracked open the seed the grating was slightly easier. The smell is so good that I understand now why using the whole over ground is a good idea.What surprised me - once I learned how long these will last and how to use and store them - is the value. Even though this is the first time I have bought whole seeds, based on the fragrance when I cracked the seed, these must be really fresh. If they aren't, I can't imagine how much more powerful they would be. These are fine as is in my opinion.I learned a lot about nutmeg just from a simple search online and there is some surprising info out there about it. Just learning about the supposed benefits - antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, has antibacterial properties; also could be good for heart health, libido, etc.What I hope people are careful about is that, while there are a lot of benefits of using nutmeg, to be careful with it around children or when used in high amounts. Look up info about potential harmful effects.I am really happy with this batch of seeds. They are going to last me for a long time but, when I need to buy more, I would most definitely use this seller again

Used 1/4 of called for in my apple pie recipe just to try, was just right, gave a “subtle sumthin” tasters raved about.
Pkg contains a lifetime supply for avg home baker, u use so little. Best Stored in air-tight glass.
Experienced using whole nutmeg by American name-branded spice co’s from the supermarket (these i’d use 1/2 measure called for). Once tried, I knew I’d never buy pre-ground again, its an apples and oranges comparison.
-Whole: use microplane to grate fine flakes over batter, uses far less (1/4-1/2 than recipe calls for) since the floral notes remain intact far longer
-Pre-ground: if lucky to get fresh (=expensive) jar, loses its vital oil notes by about 6-8mo. Used to omit b/c of that. not anymore, whole’s the only way to go
Stronger florals, very nice
