Whole Mace from VLC Spices
Biryani, a dish beloved in India and many parts of the world, owes much of its rich aroma and depth of flavor to the magic of spices; and mace is one such star ingredient. Known for its sharp, warm, and slightly peppery notes with subtle hints of pine and citrus, mace adds a distinctive flavor that elevates hearty curries and aromatic rice dishes.
Mace and nutmeg come from the same tree, Myristica fragrans, yet they represent two different spices. While nutmeg is the seed, mace is the dried aril or protective covering enveloping the seed. Compared to nutmeg’s sweeter profile, mace has a brighter and more pungent whole spice aroma, making it invaluable for spice blends, seasoning mixes, and culinary applications.
