Nutmeg and Mace are aromatic spices derived from the seed of the nutmeg tree (Myristica fragrans). Nutmeg has a warm, slightly sweet, and nutty flavor, making it a popular ingredient in baked goods, desserts, curries, and spice blends. Mace, the lacy red covering of the nutmeg seed, has a milder, more delicate taste with hints of citrus and pepper, often used in savory dishes, sauces, and marinades. Both spices are valued for their rich aroma and potential health benefits, including aiding digestion and promoting relaxation.
