Mace (Pure and Natural)

Description

Mace comes from nutmeg. The lacy aril is removed by hand from the outer shell of the nutmeg and then dried, becoming yellowish-brown mace. Mace is sold in whole pieces called blades or in the more commonly-found ground form.

The color can often help you determine its origin. Orange-yellow blades most likely come from Grenada, while orange-red blades tend to be from Indonesia. Mace has a flavor described as a combination of cinnamon and pepper, a more pungent version of nutmeg.

Nutmeg may be substituted for mace in a pinch and vice versa, but obviously the end result will be affected as with any substitution.
