Product Description
FitTree's Premium Nutmeg Powder is derived from the dried seeds of the Myristica fragrans tree, harvested at full maturity to guarantee maximum oil density. We strictly use "sound" kernels (excluding shriveled or worm-eaten ones) which are carefully shelled and then ground. We utilize a specialized Cool-Grinding Technology to prevent heat buildup during milling, ensuring that the volatile oils—responsible for the spice's signature sweet-spicy scent—remain intact.
At Fittree International, we prioritize purity above all. Nutmeg powder is often prone to adulteration with shell powder or spent meal; we guarantee a 100% pure product with no fillers or spent grounds. With a consistent mesh size and a rich, reddish-tan color, our nutmeg powder offers superior flowability and flavor intensity for industrial blenders and commercial kitchens alike.
