Ground Mace

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.

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.
