2.2 g1 teaspoon

5 g1 whole nutmeg

USDA FoodData Central (FDC ID 170929): 1 whole nutmeg = 5.0 g | Ground nutmeg; USDA/spice-chart 1 tsp ≈2.2 g.

Instead of Nutmeg

Ground nutmeg
Use equal weight, or roughly 1/2 teaspoon for half a whole nutmeg. Stir in near the end of cooking as pre-ground loses aroma quickly.
Mace blade
Use about 70% of the weight, finely ground. Mace comes from the same fruit and provides a very similar but slightly lighter, more floral warmth.
Ground mace
Use equal weight. Delivers a slightly sharper, more delicate sweetness to rich kormas and biryanis.
