Mace is a spice made from the gum-like reddish substance that cradles the seed of Myristica fragrans, an evergreen species of tree native to Indonesia.

This seed, or nut, is better known to most people as nutmeg. Ground mace has a milder flavor than nutmeg, but is bolder in color.

The spice is widely used to flavor foods and beverages in Asian, Indonesian and Middle Eastern cuisines.
