Mace
Mace is a spice that comes from the nutmeg tree, known for its warm and aromatic flavour. It is actually the outer covering of the nutmeg seed, which is found inside the fruit of the tree. Mace has a slightly different taste than nutmeg, with a more delicate and subtle flavour that is often used in both sweet and savoury dishes.
To make mace, the bright red aril that surrounds the nutmeg seed is carefully removed and dried. Once dried, it turns a golden-yellow colour and is ground into a fine powder or used in its whole form. This process helps to preserve the unique flavour and aroma of mace, making it a popular spice in many cuisines around the world.
You might see mace listed on food labels as a natural flavouring or spice. It is commonly used in baking, particularly in cakes, pastries, and bread. Mace is also a key ingredient in some meat dishes, sauces, and soups, adding depth and warmth to the overall flavour profile. Its versatile nature allows it to complement both sweet and savoury recipes, enhancing the taste experience for those enjoying the dish.
