Organic Whole Mace (Javitri) | Premium Aromatic Spice
Product Description
Antique Ayurveda organic mace is the delicate, aromatic outer covering of nutmeg, carefully harvested and naturally dried to preserve its unique flavor and therapeutic properties. This premium spice adds a warm, slightly sweet taste to biryanis, desserts, and garam masala blends. Rich in essential oils and nutrients, our javitri provides authentic flavor while supporting digestive health and overall wellness.
The Golden Aril: Mace (javitri) is often called the "crown jewel" of spices - the precious lacy covering that encases the nutmeg seed. More delicate and refined than nutmeg itself, this aromatic treasure has been prized by royal kitchens and master chefs for its sophisticated flavor profile that elevates any dish it graces.
Artisanal Excellence: Our premium organic mace is hand-harvested at the perfect moment when the aril develops its characteristic golden-red color and maximum aromatic intensity, ensuring each piece delivers the most refined flavor and therapeutic potency.
