Indian Mace

Mace is actually the lacy coating, called the aril, found on a nutmeg seed. This lacy aril is red in colour and can be removed by hand from the outer shell of the nutmeg and then dried. The Mace exporter in India exports tonnes of the product abroad from India. This Mace export from India has been increasing over the years.
