Nutmeg and mace come from the same tree, the nutmeg tree. It is at the heart of its fruits that its two spices, nutmeg and mace, are nestled. Little known in France, mace, “mace flower” or even “nutmeg flower”, is the shell that protects nutmeg at the very heart of the fruit. Once dried, whether it remains whole or is reduced to powder, mace becomes a spice in its own right. * Very aromatic, nutmeg evokes woody, walnut and cinnamon scents. Very hard, it can be stored well over time, and it is recommended to grate it if necessary. Traditionally, nutmeg is used just grated in gratins, soups, purees, and more generally with vegetables. It is also a must for béchamel. Product from organic farming Ecocert FR-BIO-01 certified
