The spice can be used in potato dishes, herbal soups, egg dishes, vegetable dishes and cheese dishes, meat mince and fish mince. It is often a character-giving spice for bechamel sauce and other white sauces for e.g. stewing. Nutmeg and nutmeg can also be used for desserts and baked goods such as Epiphany cake. Grate the whole nutmeg in small amounts on a small, fine grater.
It is terpenes such as α-pinene, β-pinene, sabinene, limonene, borneol, terpinol, eugenol and isoeugenol that form the characteristic, spicy scent.
In the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, nutmeg was one of the world's most coveted luxury goods and formed the center of long-lasting conflicts between Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and England.
