Grated spice (6)
I believe the answer is:
nutmeg
'grated spice' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for nutmeg that I've seen before include "Spice for grating" , "Spice to grate" , "Aromatic spicy kernel" , "Hard, aromatic spice" , "Aromatic seed - tropical tree" .)
