Mace, Ground

Mace ground has a delicate, warm flavour with tart lemon notes. The powder is created by grinding mace blades, which are the cases around nutmeg kernels. Mace is a versatile spice that lends its flavour to both sweet and savoury dishes.

As you may already know, Mace was a highly prized spice for centuries, and was traded along the spice routes between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. As well as flavouring the food, it could also preserve meat and other perishable goods. Additionally, it can be used as a natural food colouring, thanks to its reddish-brown hue. It’s a rich source of nutrients, including vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, iron, and calcium.

Mace ground can be used to flavour dairy-based dishes like rice pudding and cheese sauces. Used as a secret ingredient in Italian dishes such as risotto or dauphinoise potatoes. Mace is also used in high-end sausage production! You may wish to use the powder within traditional sweet bakes like carrot cake, sticky puddings and biscuits.
