Jawitri | Javitri | Jalwatri | Mace - 25 Grams

Mace, spice consisting of the dried aril, or lacy covering, of the nutmeg fruit of Myristica fragrans, a tropical evergreen tree. Mace has a slightly warm taste and a fragrance similar to that of nutmeg.

While nutmeg and mace are related, and come from the same nutmeg tree, they are different. Nutmeg is the seed found inside the ripe fruit of the tree, after it's been picked and split open. The lacy membrane that surrounds the seed, once removed and dried, is mace.

Flavor-wise, mace spice is often described as a less intensely concentrated version of nutmeg, though it also has notes of cinnamon and black pepper. Like nutmeg, mace is typically used in baking—where those warm notes bridge the savory and sweet in rich foods like donuts, cakes, and sweet potato or pumpkin pie.
