Mace Flower

Mace Flower is a dried spice botanically associated with Myristica fragrans, traded as dried lacy aril of nutmeg seed. The spice contributes warm aromatic and subtly sweet character to formulations for baking, spice mixes, processed meat and flavoured drinks. Different origins, grades and processing methods can affect appearance, yield and aromatic performance.

Technical evaluation focuses on blade colour, breakage and oil content. One quality benchmark for this commodity is Moisture ≤10%. Published reference limits and additional commercial targets should be distinguished in the procurement specification. Sampling should cover size grading, physical contamination, visible mould, live insects and suitable controls for pesticide residues or mycotoxins under the destination market's applicable limits.

For export distribution, hygienic, food-contact-appropriate moisture-barrier liners help maintain fragrance during transit. Carton or sack weights, lot codes, harvest or packing dates and origin records support warehouse handling, traceability and efficient incoming inspection. Mace Flower is suitable for industrial sourcing when product form and critical attributes are recorded consistently.
