Nutmeg can be found whole or ground. It's better whole. Alton Brown says so. And we should all listen to the great AB.

Nutmeg is strong and sweet, and often used with cheese sauces. It's also a frequent flier in pastries and sweets. Like cloves and allspice, a little goes a long way!

Tomato dishes can almost always benefit from a few grinds of nutmeg. It's amazing how much depth and complexity it gives to otherwise same-old-same-old Italian and Mexican dishes.

do NOT use too much nutmeg- a light dusting is all you need (less than a 1/3rd of a teaspoon between 4 people). too much and you'll be seeing stuff which isnt there- before spending a week on the toilet!!!
