Asked on 10 Jun 2019 by MR E M SPRIGGS Dark Jamaican Gingerbread Recipe says "1/4 nutmeg, grated". Does that mean 1/4 of a nutmeg, or quarter TBS, or what? Thanks in advance. Edmund Spriggs Lindsey, Food Editor replied Hello Edmund, Delia always grates nutmeg as she needs it so it’s about ½ teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg. If your using ready grated nutmeg make sure its new or recently opened or it may have lost all its delightful fragrance. Best wishes Lindsey Do you have a question for Delia or Lindsey?

Hello Edmund,
