Surrounding the nutmeg seed is a bright red web. This web is dried into blades. We refer to these blades as Mace. The blades may then be grounded and is at its best when used immediately. Mace is a little more delicate and sweeter than nutmeg. It gives off a sweet and citrusy flavor.  Consider using mace where nutmeg would be too dominate, such as in Lost dog Cafe’s She Crab soup recipe; on fruits such as peaches; or in pound cake; even cocktails. Great in seafood and stews as well
