Mace
is a delicate smooth spice that grows together
with Nutmeg on the same
plant called Myristica Fragrans, an evergreen tree,
native to the Banda Island. Used in cakes, puddings,
soups, poultry, fish.
Nutmeg is the hard kernel inside the
fruit of this tree. The fruit is split open to reveal
the seed called nutmeg, which is wrapped in bright
orange and red lacy covering. This lacy covering
is Mace.
