To improve the taste of almost any food or drink, 18th-century people would grate in a little nutmeg. Nutmeg was so popular, that you wouldn't leave home without your grater and a piece of nutmeg in your pocket. Graters of this size were perfect for traveling. Also works great for grating cinnamon sticks. Each of our nutmeg grater has a brass grating surface with hand-punched holes and the base is made of maple wood.  Dimensions: 4 3/4" long x 1" wide.
