Ground Mace, Myristica fragrans, is a sweet and woodsy spice that is called mace spice, mace powder, ground mace spice or mace seasoning.

Mace is the second spice that comes from the nutmeg tree. Nutmeg isn't actually a nut, but rather the seed of an apricot-like fruit, kind of like a peach pit. Mace is the lacy, fibrous covering that wraps around the nutmeg. 

Businesses that frequently purchase Ground Mace are: 

  • seafood restaurants; 
  • brewers; 
  • butchers; 
  • bakeries; 
  • catering companies; and 
  • independent spice shops

We also carry top quality Whole Nutmeg and Ground Nutmeg.

 

Flavor Profile

Ground Mace is warm and aromatic with hints of lemony sweetness and pepper. It is similar to nutmeg, but more delicate.

 

How To Use 

Ground Mace can be used in the same sorts of applications as its cousin, nutmeg, but its surprising citrusy aspect means it works particularly well in dairy-based dishes like cream sauces or soft cheese blends, like a ricotta filling for cannoli or the mascarpone in tiramisu. It also enhances fruity dishes like pavlova or buckles, and makes a nice addition to lighter fleshed baked or grilled fish, pork, or sweet root vegetables.

Use Ground Mace when making barbeque sauces, cabbage, cakes, carrots, cheese dishes, coffee drinks, cookies, curries, homemade doughnuts, mashed potatoes, oyster stew, puddings, pumpkin pie, spinach, Swedish meatballs, sweet potato pie, stuffing, squash, and yams. 

The flavor of Ground Mace pairs well with chocolate, butter, clove, allspice, vanilla, fennel, apple, caraway, coriander, cumin, ripe plantain, beets, saffron, and cinnamon.

Dry Rub Must Have So far I’ve only used this is my dry rub. (Actually 3x as much as it calls for.) I have used store bought before, but it has almost no flavor. This mace is so flavorful with floral/citrus notes. It reminds me of sassafras leaves in the springtime but better! It adds something to my dry rub that no other spice can.

Ground Mace I need a reliable vendor for my ingredients. Spices, Inc. is that vendor. I use Ground Mace in several recipes. Some people substitute Nutmeg - its not the same. Excellent Quality! Thank you Spices, Inc.
