Mace

Brand: Farmer Four

Originating in the Indonesian Banda Islands, mace is the delicate, reddish shell that encases the nutmeg seed. It is used in both sweet and savoury recipes, as well as in spice blends like garam masala, and has a warm, spicy flavour. The origin of the mace can be ascertained by its colour. The blades are usually from Indonesia if it has an orange-red colour. If it has an orange-yellow tinge, you're most likely using Grenada-sourced mace blades.
