Mace is a milder and sweeter spice with a hint of citrus, cinnamon, black pepper, and pine. It's more delicate than nutmeg and commonly used to flavor soups, stews, baked goods, pickles, rice dishes, and traditional milk-based desserts. When using mace in Indian cooking, it's best to add it early on in the cooking process so that the flavor has time to develop. It can keep the digestive system healthy and is also good for dental health.
