{"product_id":"aadhimalai-mace-whole","title":"Mace, Whole","description":"\u003cp\u003eMace — the lacy red-orange covering that wraps around the nutmeg seed inside the fruit — from Aadhimalai's Nilgiris farms. It carries the same family of essential oils as nutmeg but in higher concentration, so it reads as more intense and slightly more floral, and you need less of it. Because each nutmeg fruit yields only a thin veil of mace, it is harvested in much smaller volume than nutmeg itself, which is why it costs more per gram and why good mace is genuinely harder to source. Grown by indigenous farmer-shareholders of the Nilgiris Biosphere Reserve under an agroforestry system. Single ingredient, sold as whole blades rather than ground. Use it where you want nutmeg's warmth without the graininess — infused into milk-based dishes, biryani masala, or ground fresh into a spice blend. Good mace should still be pliable and deep orange rather than brittle and faded brown, which indicates age.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aadhimalai","offers":[{"title":"25 gm","offer_id":49380297081091,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false},{"title":"50 gm","offer_id":49380297113859,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/purepicked.store\/products\/aadhimalai-mace-whole","provider":"purepicked","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
