Nutmeg Mace Flower

Description

Nutmeg and mace are two different spices that come from the same plant, Myristica fragrans. The nutmeg is the seed kernel inside the fruit, while mace is the red web-like coating (or aril) that covers the kernel. Antioxidants: Both nutmeg and mace contain antioxidants, which help to protect the body from damage caused by free radicals.

Nutmeg and mace are often used as a flavoring agent in a variety of dishes, including baked goods, desserts, and savory dishes. They are also used in traditional medicine for their purported health benefits, including their ability to relieve pain, improve digestion, and boost brain function. However, they should be used in moderation as consuming too much nutmeg or mace can cause hallucinations, nausea, and other adverse effects.
