Mace is the membrane covering the nutmeg seed inside the fruit. It has a similar flavor and aroma to nutmeg but is more pungent. For this reason, many people prefer mace for savory applications (such as meat rubs), but you be the judge. This fine-ground mace is excellent in soups, bechamel and onion sauces and with cream cheese desserts.
Spices and herbs should be stored away from light, heat and moisture. However, storing spices in the refrigerator or freezer may actually shorten their shelf life and they risk picking up other food odors. In general, whole spices have a longer shelf life than ground spices. Depending on the spice and how well it is stored, a good rule of thumb is six months to a year for powdered spices and longer for whole spices and seeds. The best way to determine if your spices or herbs are still fresh is to close your eyes and sniff – if you cannot immediately tell what the herb or spice is, toss it!
