Nutritional Values (Approx. per 100g)

Uses

• Royal Gravies: A secret ingredient in authentic Biryanis, Lucknowi Kebab masalas, and rich white gravies (like Rezala or Shahi Paneer).

• Aromatic Broths: Add a small blade of whole mace to soups, clear broths, or stews for a warm, subtle fragrance.

• Baking & Desserts: Grind into a fine powder for use in fruitcakes, puddings, or spiced cookies for a unique “warm spice” profile.

• Spice Blends: An essential part of premium Garam Masala and Biryani Masala blends.

• Beverages: Infuse into hot chocolate or masala chai for an exotic, floral twist.

Storage Instructions

• Protect the Color: Store in a cool, dark place; direct sunlight will cause the vibrant orange color to fade and the flavor to weaken.

• Airtight Glass Jars: Mace is highly aromatic; keep it sealed in glass to prevent the scent from escaping or being absorbed by other spices.

• Handle with Care: Whole blades are fragile; store them in a way that avoids crushing to keep the “lacy” structure intact for garnishing.

Fun Facts

• The Golden Twin: Mace and Nutmeg are the only two spices that come from the same fruit! Mace is the protective “lace” around the shell.

• A Rare Treat: Because only a small amount of mace is produced per nutmeg fruit, it has historically been one of the most expensive and sought-after spices in the world.

• Color Profile: High-quality javitri should be a vibrant orange-red. If it looks pale or brittle, it has likely lost its essential oils.
