nutmeg?
Hello all,
The other day my fiancee and I were going through her grandmother's spice rack and we found some whole nutmeg. It is about 30 years old. Do you guys think it is still good??? Still smells like nutmeg. Thanx, Kevin |

If it "smells like nutmeg" whole, and hasn't become moldy or shrivled, there's no reason it won't be perfectly usable when grated. As I've mentioned before, I keep trying to toss a quarter-century-old box of cloves, but since they are still fragrant, I keep them for my infrequent uses of whole cloves. |

If they do - use them. ......Alan. Post no bills |
