Mace

The tropical Nutmeg tree is the source of this aromatic spice- Mace is actually the net-like covering of the Nutmeg seeds. Both are said to have similar stimulating properties, but Mace is primarily used as a culinary and flavoring agent.

Mace's flavor is somewhat like Nutmeg's but is said to be stronger. It can be used in powdered form in cakes, cookies, and other desserts, or combined with Bay leaf, Cloves and Onions in seasoning savory dishes.

Common use: Culinary spice; flavoring agent; small doses relieve and prevent intestinal gas, nausea and vomiting; indigestion (weak stomach); increase circulation.
