Irie,

So one or two things here;

When you suggest "whole nut"....What does that mean???

The nut has a soft yellow fruit covering, that splits when ripe exposing the casing of mace (the aril), then there is the shell, then when you crack the shell, within you'll find the nut!

I use freshly grated nutmeg in the morning cocoa tea and a little "je ne sais quoi" in a spag.Bolog!!!

I would think the aril maybe more worthy of some serious investigation, rather than some dusty old nuts!

Respect,

Z
