Description

Both Mace and Nutmeg are derived from the fruit of the same tree, Myristica fragrans. Mace is the thin, bright red aril or lace-like covering over the shell of the Nutmeg. Its flavor is similar to Nutmeg but more delicate.

Mace is particularly used as a condiment though its medicinal properties resemble those of nutmeg. The warm, spicy-sweet taste is a frequent seasoning for many kinds of baked goods, confections, puddings, meat, sausages, sauces and vegetables.
