Mace Ground

$6.50

A tropical treasure! Mace comes from the same tropical tree as Nutmeg (the seed), with mace forming a lacy red membrane between the seed and the fruit, providing nutrients. Mace has a warm and spicy flavour, milder and less distinctive than nutmeg. It can be found whole (looks like ribbons or strands) or as Mace Ground, and is then referred to as blade mace, or as a powder.
