We offer mace and nutmeg. Call them sistersbrothers. Anyway these two spices are twins. Because they are both parts of the fruit of myristica frangrans; it as the nutmeg tree. Now to differentiate between the two separately mace consists of the vein-like threads that cover the dried fruit, while nutmeg is the kernel inside the seed mace threads or blades are chopped or ground and the nutmeg kernel is ground or grated both are traditional flavorings for sweets including- custards, cakes, desserts and other savory dishes, especially fish, spinach, pasta and quiche.
