Mace
Mace (Myristicia fragans) is the lacy, bright red growth that surrounds the nutmeg seed. The nutmeg tree is rather unique in that it produces two distinct spices - mace and nutmeg. An evergreen tree, nutmeg is indigenous to the Moluccas, the fabled "Spice Islands". Mace was widely used from the Middle Ages until this century. Sadly, due to its cost and similarity to nutmeg, its popularity has declined. The flavor of mace is milder and more subtle than nutmeg. Consumers should be aware that nutmeg is sometimes mixed with the more expensive mace to reduce its cost.
Silver Cloud imports mace from Indonesia. Mace is particularly helpful as an enhancer. A little will often enhance the flavor of a dish without adding its own characteristic flavor. In oyster stew, for example, mace seems to intensify the oyster flavor. It gives lift to bechamel sauce, souffles and cream cheese deserts. Many chefs prefer mace to nutmeg with sweet potatoes and in cream sauces for spinach and other vegetables.

Why Buy Your Spices at Silver Cloud
Estates?
Why buy spices online when they are so readily available at your local store? The answer is quality and price. The spices sold at your local store are often a year or two old. As spices age, they loose much of their flavor. Silver Cloud's spices are always fresh, never old. Our products are also an excellent value. When you need spices, click on Silver Cloud Estates for the freshest products at great prices.
