Desi Kitchen Whole Mace 1.75 oz brings premium dried mace blades — the lacy red-orange outer husk of the nutmeg seed. Whole mace has an aromatic warmth with a more delicate and complex character than nutmeg, making it the preferred whole spice for fine biryanis, kormas, and festive Indian cooking. Available at Anoras Cash N Carry in Los Angeles.

Whole Mace Blades for Fresh-Ground Aromatics

• Whole dried mace blades that retain more aroma than pre-ground mace
• Grinding at home produces far more fragrant mace powder than commercial options
• Prized in Mughlai biryanis, korma, and festive spice blends
• 1.75 oz pack of premium whole mace for the discerning home cook

How to Use

Break a blade into a spice grinder and grind fresh for biryani masala — the aroma is incomparable. Add one whole blade to simmering meat korma or Mughlai curry. Include in whole spice bundles for infusing in ghee or stock. Store whole mace in a sealed jar and grind as needed for maximum freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between whole mace blades and ground mace? Whole blades last much longer and deliver dramatically fresher aroma when ground at home, compared to pre-ground mace that loses potency over time.

How many whole mace blades should I use per dish? One blade is typically sufficient per recipe — mace is an aromatic accent spice, not a base spice, so less is more.

Where can I find whole mace in Los Angeles? Anoras Cash N Carry at 567 S Fairfax Ave carries Desi Kitchen whole mace and a broad range of hard-to-find South Asian spices.
