Discover the understated elegance of Ground Mace, a spice that marries warmth with delicate sweetness. The nutmeg tree is the only tree that produces two separate spices. The fruit contains a hard pit known as nutmeg, while the lacy red membrane surrounding it is mace.  Mace has carved its niche in the culinary world, offering a subtler, more refined flavor compared to its counterpart, nutmeg. Whether you're exploring global cuisines or simply adding a touch of aromatic nuance to your dishes, Ground Mace serves as a silent yet potent muse, enriching every recipe with its presence.

Mace is classic in northern European dishes like potted shrimp and Swedish meatballs. It is the bright red webbing (or aril) that grows around nutmeg. Mace has a lighter flavor that pairs well with savory dishes. Nutmeg trees were once so rare and valuable that the Dutch traded Manhattan to the British for the sole island on which they grew. Also available in Whole Blade Mace. Visit our blog to learn more about mace and discover new recipes.

The charm of Ground Mace lies in its versatility. In its common baking practices, you will often see mace in cookies, cakes, and bread. It’s also delicious in pumpkin pie or baked winter squash dishes. In baking, ground mace spice can be used as a substitute for nutmeg; its mellower flavor is especially nice with fruits or delicate pastries.

Mace is equally adept at enhancing savory dishes. Mace spice is a common ingredient in Northern European cooking, appearing in hearty vegetable dishes, cream sauces, and sausages. Be it the spicy curries of India, the rich stews of the Middle East, or traditional European dishes, mace infuses each bite with a hint of pepperiness intertwined with traces of citrus. Its finely ground texture ensures seamless blending, making it a cherished ingredient for chefs and home cooks alike.

Key Features:

  • Gourmet Quality: Finely ground to ensure a smooth and consistent texture, perfect for a range of culinary applications.
  • Versatile Flavor: While distinct, mace’s flavor is versatile, making it suitable for both sweet and savory dishes.
  • Culinary Enhancer: A must-have for those who value depth and complexity in their cooking.

Ground Mace is not just a spice—it's a tribute to flavors that are elegant, subtle, and timeless. Whether you're elevating a cherished recipe or embarking on a new culinary adventure, let this spice be your secret weapon for dishes that resonate with authenticity and finesse.

Freshest spices … Best company

After finding TSH a few years ago … it’s THE ONLY place I order spices. Especially those spices that are less readily available in my area. Mace is definitely one of those.

A great delicate spice

I bought a package for my sister who had a hard time finding this. She uses it when cooking carrots. I tried it and it complements carrots perfectly. I'm looking forward to using it in more recipes. My sister is very happy with it too.
