Customer Tip:
Use very small equal parts of nutmeg & ground savory to enhance the flavor
of everything (1/8 teaspoon for green salads). No matter what kind of dish
you are creating, it blends and enriches the flavors. I use it in Italian
sauces, Spanish foods, on all types of vegetables and vegetable
salads...anywhere I use other herbs. To get an idea of how this works, try
smelling nutmeg, smelling savory, then smelling both together. It becomes a
spice blend that makes your mouth water.
