Organic Whole Mace 25g

Mace and nutmeg are different parts of the same fruit of the nutmeg tree. The fruit, which is about the size of an apricot and similar in colour, splits when ripe to reveal brilliant red arils encasing the brown nut. These red arils are mace, which turns to an orange colour on drying

Mace is commonly used in savoury dishes and to flavour milk-based sauces such as bechamel. It is often added sparingly to delicate soups and sauces for eggs, fish, and other seafood. It is widely used in processed meats, such as sausages and charcuterie. Mace and its oil are used in many processed foods where nutmeg is used, but being more costly it is usually used in more expensive foods. Whole mace can be easily ground using a coffee grinder.
