Mace/Javitri-Konkan

Javitri, also known as mace, is the vibrant red aril that surrounds the nutmeg seed. With its warm, slightly sweet, and delicately spicy flavor profile, javitri adds depth and complexity to both savory and sweet dishes. Use it in curries, rice preparations, desserts, and traditional Indian sweets. Ground javitri blends seamlessly into masalas and spice mixes, while whole pieces can be toasted to release their aromatic oils. Store in an airtight container away from light and heat to preserve its rich color and potent flavor for months.
