Healthy Living:The Medicinal and Culinary Use of Spices-Mace

Mace refers to the outer covering of the nutmeg seed, which is used as a spice. Mace and nutmeg come from the same plant, but mace is the reddish, lace-like substance that surrounds the seed.

Mace is often used in baking and cooking, particularly in sweet dishes and in some traditional savory dishes from various cuisines. It has a warm, slightly sweet, and aromatic flavor that can add depth and complexity to dishes.
