Selection and proper storage of nutmeg

Muskatnik bears fruit throughout the year, so mature fruits are harvested three times a year. The maturity of the fruit is determined by the cracked pulp, from which the seedlings are visible. After harvesting, the nuts are separated from the pulp and dried in the sun.

After preliminary drying, the nuts are laid out on special grates and subjected to heat treatment by fire for several weeks. In this case, you need to turn them over regularly.

After complete drying, nutmeg acquires a brown tint, and its shell is easily broken.

The finished nut as a whole looks like an elongated nut, in the form of an egg, with a pattern of light veins. In this case, one end of the nut should be light, and the opposite end should be a dark brown shade.

Experts recommend storing nutmeg as a whole, without crushing it. In this form, it will be stored for a longer time without losing its taste and healing properties. At the same time, for storage, it is recommended to pack the nutmeg in a foil bag or in a glass sealed container and put it in a cool, dry, dark place.

If necessary, whole kernels of nuts should be taken out and grated or chopped in a blender.
