What is Mace?

Mace comes from the lacy red coating around nutmeg. Mace is dried and ground into a powder used as a seasoning in desserts and some savory dishes. Occasionally it is sold whole. The color is a warm brownish orange. The flavor is delicate and similar to nutmeg, with a warm spicy taste that is reminiscent of a pungent cinnamon.

What does Mace Taste Like?

Sweet

Sweet is one of the five main tastes. It has smooth and round notes in its flavor profile. Sweet is a naturally occurring flavor in many foods, including fruits, berries, winter squashes, sugarcane, and honey. The sweet taste in these foods is due to a higher sugar content. Sweetness is characteristic of desserts and is used as an accent in savory foods.

Spicy

Spicy is a flavor that brings heat and fire to food by creating a burning sensation in the mouth or sinuses. Spicy flavors come from hot peppers, horseradish, and wasabi. Spicy adds a kick and sometimes complexity to a dish and releases endorphins, creating a mildly addictive quality.
