If you are looking for freshly grated nutmeg, this is the perfect kitchen tool.  This long, slender tool makes fast work of grinding up those rock-hard chunks of fresh nutmeg. The sturdy plastic handle makes it easy to grip, while the razor-sharp stainless-steel blades do the hard work. As always with a sharp Cheese Grater, be careful to keep your fingers clear--safety can be especially challenging when you're working with those slippery little spices. The Microplane spice Cheese Grater also works well on nuts, dried hot peppers, ginger, and anything particularly tough or fibrous.

Use a Spice Cheese Grater for:

Spices (nutmeg, cinnamon), nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts), coffee beans and chocolate
