Nutmeg & mace are two distinctly different spices produced from a fruit of an evergreen tree usually 9-12 mtr
high. Mace is the dried reticulated ‘aril’ of the fruit and nutmeg is the dried seed kernel of the fruit. The trees are
normally unisexual, bearing either male or female flowers. The male flowers are born in clusters, whereas female
flowers are often solitary. Fruit is a fleshy drupe, spherical in shape, pale yellow in colour with a longitudinal
groove in the centre.
Both nutmeg and mace are used as condiment particularly in sweet foods. The spice in the ground form is
mainly used in the food processing industry especially as a standard seasoning in many Dutch dishes. Nutmeg
oleoresin is used in the preparation of meat products, soups, sauces, baked foods, confectionaries, puddings,
seasoning of meat and vegetable etc.
