Mace

Mace (Myristica fragrans)

Mace is the dried outer covering (aril) of the nutmeg seed and is known for its warm, aromatic flavor. It is commonly used in both sweet and savory dishes, particularly in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines.

Precautions:

• Dosage: While mace is safe in culinary amounts, excessive consumption may lead to adverse effects, including hallucinations and nausea.
• Allergies: Individuals with nutmeg allergies should also avoid mace, as they are derived from the same plant.
