The Nutmeg Grater that Stores the Nutmeg Seed, Ready at a Moment's Notice.

• HIC's Stainless Steel Nutmeg Grater makes quick work of grating whole nutmeg.
• The nutmeg seed's hardened exterior requires a sturdy grater to harvest its warm, exotic aroma and flavor, and ground nutmeg is most aromatic when grated immediately before use.
• Use ground nutmeg for making spiced tea, hot chocolate, mulled cider, or egg nog, even savory dishes, like moussaka.
• Grate the amount you need and then store the seed, whole, right inside the grater for easy access. 
• There's room inside to store several seeds, but it's best to store bulk nutmeg seeds in an airtight container to retain its flavor indefinitely...unless you're like us go through a nutmeg pod each month!  Our recommendation?  Use that extra room for a stick or two of cinnamon!
• Place the nutmeg seed against the grater while steadying its flattened bottom against a countertop or tabletop or right in your mixing bowl for a more vigorous grating action.
• Quickly grate nutmeg, cinnamon sticks, and other spices and seasonings, for tastier baking recipes and comforting home cooking.
• It doubles nicely for grating cinnamon sticks and block chocolate, and the compartment is large enough to store your sticks and 2 to 3 inch hunks of chocolate.
• It also works well as a ginger grater, or for preparing lemon zest, cookie crumbs for crumb crusts or crumb toppings, and a cheese grater for hard cheese, like Asiago, Parmesan, Pecorino or Romano.
• Narrowing at the bottom, the nutmeg grater is designed to fit easily into a pinch bowl or mug to collect grated ingredients.
• Large enough to store individual spices but small enough to grate directly over foods to deliver flavor and finishing touches exactly where needed.
