Does Whole Nutmeg Spoil?
Yes, whole nutmeg can spoil if it is not stored properly or if it is kept for too long. The essential oils in nutmeg, which give it its flavor and aroma, can evaporate over time and it can also become contaminated with mold or bacteria. It is important to store whole nutmeg in a cool, dry place and to use it within a year of purchasing for optimal flavor and freshness.
