YumFuell Premium Mace/Javitri/Japatri Flower Whole Spices – 50gm

Description Mace has a unique use in traditional Indian medicine. You can use it as both a savory as well as sweet flavor enhancer, utilized as a spice on roast meats or even in things such as cakes or scones. Though mace has lots of health benefits, it must be used in controlled amounts. Mace is considered the refined older sibling to the nutmeg. Nutmeg is the seed that is dried, shelled and sold for consumption either whole or ground while mace is the “aril” of the fruit consisting of a fleshy network which is then dried and sold for consumption. The aroma is mildly nutty and warm while the flavor is predominantly sweet with a hint of strong bitterness towards the end. Mace is typically used in high-fat foods such as sauces, puddings, cheese dishes, and meat products. It is also commonly used in cosmetic products and alternative medicines due to its numerous health benefits. Interestingly, mace is a key component in pickling various spices.
