Javitri, or mace, is a spice derived from the outer shell of the nutmeg seed. It offers a delicate, slightly sweeter flavor compared to nutmeg and can be incorporated into various dishes. Use it sparingly in baking, beverages, savory dishes, and vegetarian cooking to add a warm, aromatic flavor. Mace works well in pastries, soups, meat rubs, vegetable stir-fries, and rice dishes, and pairs nicely with cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom. To preserve its potency, store it somewhere cold and dark.
