Fox’s Spices Ground Mace 550g

Ground Mace

Fox’s Spices Ground Mace 550g is a warm, aromatic spice made from the finely ground outer covering of the nutmeg seed. It has a similar character to nutmeg but is a little lighter and more floral, with gentle notes of sweetness and soft spice. The texture is a smooth, fine powder that blends easily into batters, doughs, sauces and spice mixes, so you get an even flavour throughout your dish. Ground mace is a classic choice for comforting bakes, creamy sauces and traditional puddings, but it also works well in savoury dishes such as stews, sausages and potato recipes. Because it is already ground, it is simple to measure and stir in, making it a handy everyday spice when you want warmth and depth without any fuss.

Key Features:

• Large 550g pack that offers good value for anyone who uses ground mace regularly in cooking and baking.
• Fine powder that is easy to measure, mix and sprinkle into recipes for consistent flavour.
• Distinctive yet gentle taste that suits both savoury dishes and sweet bakes.
• Useful for homemade spice blends, sausages, stuffing mixes and traditional desserts where a warm background spice is needed.

Recipe Inspiration:

• Stir a small amount of ground mace into mashed potatoes, creamy gratins or cauliflower cheese to add gentle warmth without overpowering the dish.
• Add ground mace to cake batters, fruit loaves or gingerbread for a softly spiced flavour that pairs well with dried fruit and citrus zest.
• Use ground mace in homemade sausages, meatballs or stuffing alongside herbs and pepper to bring a classic, old fashioned savoury note.
• Sprinkle a pinch of ground mace into custard, rice pudding or baked apples to enhance the sweetness and add a cosy, aromatic finish.

What is ground mace made from?

Ground mace is made from the dried outer covering of the nutmeg seed, known as the mace aril, which is then finely ground into a powder. It comes from the same fruit as nutmeg but is taken from a different part of the seed.

How is ground mace different from nutmeg?

Ground mace and nutmeg have related flavours because they come from the same plant, but mace is often described as slightly lighter, more aromatic and a touch more floral. Nutmeg can be a little stronger and richer, while mace tends to sit more gently in the background of a dish.

What dishes are best with ground mace?

Ground mace is especially good in recipes where you want a warm, subtle spice, such as creamy sauces, potato dishes, pies, sausages, stuffing and slow cooked stews. It is also popular in traditional baking, including fruit cakes, puddings and biscuits, where it works well alongside cinnamon, cloves and ginger.
