Whole Nutmeg

In the Nugu River Valley of Karnataka, nutmeg trees grow on a 35-year-old family farm frequented by paradise flycatchers and the occasional elephant. When the fruits reach peak ripeness, farmers harvest them by hand, yielding nutmeg with the best possible flavor. Use it to add depth to béchamel, pork loin, and biryani, or bring warmth to spiced cakes and French toast.
