McCormick Ground Mace has a flavor and aroma which is similar to nutmeg yet is more delicate, is strongly aromatic, spicy, and warming to taste. Mace's flavor is characterized as citrus and terpeney. Mace and nutmeg are two distinctly different spices that come from a single fruit. Mace is the thin, bright red aril or skin covering the shell of the nutmeg, derived from the fruit of the tropical evergreen Myristica fragrans tree. Mace is yellowish-tan to reddish-tan in color, made up of flat, hornlike, shiny branched pieces with a fragrant, nutmeg like aromatic odor and warm taste.
Mace is used whole in fish sauces, rice pudding, chutneys, and ketchup. Ground Mace is commonly used to flavor puddings, cakes, cookies, custards, and meat products, such as sausages. Mace is an important ingredient in French, English, West Indian and Indian cooking.
