Mace (Javitri)

Mace is the crimson or bright red coloured spice or condiment, present as the second membrane covering the seed of the nutmeg fruit or the nutmeg. Its taste is milder than that of nutmeg and is used in recipes which are delicately flavoured.

Mace has a rich aroma and a strong, warm taste. Mace is the lacy outer covering of nutmeg. Best used sparingly in sauces, soups, desserts, meats, fish, and Moghul dishes.

Description

A “blade” of mace is the dried outer coating of a nutmeg. Mace and nutmeg are the fruit of the tree Myristica Fragrans. Highly valued as a spice in its own right mace is more robust than nutmeg and so is ideal for use in curries and sauces. Mace is an essential ingredient in a classic Bechamel sauce and in a traditional Moghul korma. Also known as “Javitri”.
