It is expenive. I will use it but use cheap shit for color.

In a cauliflour dish, curry is a game changer. Ooooops. For me.

Whole nutmegs are not expensive and you can rasp it fresh with a
microplane.

I've made several on the lathe that look a bit like this:

Was a time Penseys included whole nutmegs, cinnamon sticks, and a ton
of bay leaves as packing material... I'm still using those nutmegs,
will never use them all as no recipe calls for much nutmeg.
They are easy to grate on a kitchen grater... can even use a small
metal nailfile.

BFS, imo.
Send a pic to prove it.

He doesn't have to, if you'll accept my corroborating testimony.
Penzey's packages used to come with some loose spices in them.
The Receiving department where I work loved handling those boxes.

I can't send a pic unless I fake it by making up a package, Penzeys
stopped using whole spices as packing material several years ago.
Naturally newbies like you wouldn't know but old timers remember.
However I still get samples with my orders.

My microplane has the fine blades and it does a very good job with
nutmegs, garlic, and citrus zest.

We have an old steep pyramid shaped nutmeg grinder that my mother in law
used to use, but I usually end up using the microplane grater. I don't
usually measure it. I just grate it until it smells about right. Nutmeg
can be potent stuff and freshly grated is so much stronger tasted than
bottled.... and nicer.

Same way here. I wait until I get that nice smell and then look into
the bowl I'm grinding into and think "that looks about right."
