Mace Ground-20g

Flavour Notes:

Warm and sweet with a subtle hint of spice, Mace spice is made from drying and grinding the red lacy outer membrane of the nutmeg seed. With a milder, more delicate flavour and aroma than Nutmeg, Mace spice is perfectly suited to lighter dishes like seafood. A common ingredient in Indian, Middle Eastern and European cuisines, Mace also pairs well with other spices like cinnamon, cardamom and ginger for both sweet and savoury dishes including baked goods, stews, curries and sauces.

Culinary Notes:

A softer, more delicate flavour than its inner-seed counterpart, Mace spice makes a wonderful addition to seafood dishes like steamed fish, a fresh prawn pasta or creamy fish pie filling for a subtle sweet warmth. Its hint of spice also beautifully compliments winter root veg like pumpkin, sweet potato and swedes – simply sprinkle a small amount over with a drizzle of oil and pinch of salt and massage into the veg before roasting. Other Mace spice uses include stirred into the final stages of a risotto, added to a warming veggie soup or used in conjunction with other spices to make an aromatic dry meat rub.

Health Benefits:

Not only is Mace an excellent addition into dishes for its wonderful flavour, but it is also a great inclusion in our diets for its health properties. Mace spice benefits include reducing inflammation in the body for conditions like arthritis and asthma, aiding in digestive health to help reduce nausea, improve digestion and soothe an upset stomach, helps to prevent the growth of bacteria for oral health, controls blood sugar levels and is loaded with antioxidants to help our bodies fight disease-causing free radicals and help nourish healthy skin.
