Ground nutmeg does not grow from anywhere, it actually comes from the nutmeg pit which comes from a tree. You can take this nut or pit and grind it in a food processor, or a spice grinder to make it fine so that you can sprinkle it on food.
To grind in cooking means to take something hard, for example a seed, bean or nut, and grate or grind them into a course powder to extract the most flavour. We grind coffee beans, nutmeg, spices, pepper, rock salt and more.
Two spices come from the fruit of the nutmeg tree (Myristica fragrans); they are nutmeg and mace.Nutmeg is the kernel, or seed, which is sold either ground or whole. The flavour of ready-ground nutmeg, like all pre-ground spices, lacks flavour and body; it is much better to buy whole nutmeg and grind it as needed: it's easy to grind using a nutmeg grinder (from kitchenware stores and departments) or the starburst or fine-grating section of an ordinary kitchen grater, or you can simply scrape it with a serrated knife.Mace is the aril, or seed-covering, of the nutmeg seed, and is nearly always sold ground as a red-brown powder or in 'blades', which are simply fine strips of the aril. Mace is a little sweeter than nutmeg, and less pungently aromatic.Both spices are interchangeable in recipes, and are used in preparing both sweet and savory foods.Either spice may be sprinkled on top of frothy or creamy drinks and desserts as a garnish. Nutmeg or mace used to infuse liquids such as milk are better left whole if the liquid is to be strained after infusion; the flavour will be better and they are easy to remove.Nutmeg is also used to produce essential oils for culinary, cosmetic and medicinal use, as well as for making nutmeg butter, used for culinary purposed and as a lubricant.
Nutmeg can be eaten plain- just grind it up if it isn't already that way. It can be mixed into drinks or just ingested straight up. I recommend mixing it with milk, sugar, cloves and cinnamon (reminiscent of eggnog :]) As for poppy seeds, people generally boil them into a tea.
Nutmeg is the seed of the nutmeg tree.
'Nutmeg' spice is the finely grated seed of the Nutmeg tree.
