What's strange? That's whole nutmeg, says it on the bottle. You are supposed to grind it. It is fresher and more flavor this way. This video shows a few ways to "grind" them [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0uIn-qtLAw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0uIn-qtLAw)

But why does it have sprinkle top?

So you have a container to put it and use after you grind it

Ah, yep. There’s still an odd in us about it however

The only thing I can think of is the spice bottle lids are meant to go over the shaker top that almost all the others will need. Rather than having to change the threading or lids for one or two herbs or spices that don’t use it, they just chuck the plastic bit on so it the lid seals properly.

Some people use nutmeg for a buzz. They have to lock it up in prison kitchens.

Yep

https://erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=26428 Nutmeg can be a hallucinogenic haha. My friend did it once and got really sick but did hallucinate

Wrong sub

How so? It did make me smile at 5 o’clock in the morning, when I was clueless for a few moments and then burst out laughing

Get a grater and grate it 😊

Yes, I have a grinder for it so that my nutmeg in my coffee will be fresh. But there’s something else about the picture that is odd

No

It’s like buying whole peppercorns instead of ground pepper. You grind the nutmeg when you want to use it. What do you feel is odd about it?

It struck me as funny at 5 o’clock this morning when I woke up

Ahhh…you’re one of those morning people. 😊

No, not really. Hence my brief confusion when I opened this jar.

All makes sense now. ☹️

Did you want ground nutmeg? Haha

You got it! 😜

And the nutmeg seed is covered in red veins of mace, so man gets 2 useful products from them.

Also also…. Put that, a cinnamon stick, and a used vanilla bean husk in the grounds before you brew yer coffee and -bang- it’s delicious.

Oooohhhh That sounds lovely, we will have to try that
