These authentic Indian mace are directly sourced from Ernakulam, Kerala.  Mace is the lacy covering of the nutmeg seed but differs in flavor by being subtly pungent and spicier.  It is naturally protected from environmental toxins and pesticides as it is enveloped by a layer of fruit around it.  It has a beautiful aroma.  It is used in baked goods, and can also be a part of meat dishes, stew, etc.  Seeds and Hands supports small scale farmers and promotes direct trade.  We travel and cherry-pick best available spices from them.

SEEDS AND HANDS™ believes in bringing the hard work of the local Indian spice farmers straight to the comfort of your home.
