What is mace seasoning?

Mace seasoning is a spice made from the red outer coating of the nutmeg seed. It has a similar flavor and aroma to nutmeg but is slightly more pungent. Mace is commonly used in sweet and savory dishes such as baked goods, soups, stews, and meat rubs. It is also a popular ingredient in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Indonesian cuisine. Mace is available in both ground and whole form and can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to a year. When using mace in cooking, it is important to use it sparingly, as a little bit can go a long way.
