Mace also has the same concentration of essential oils as nutmeg, which is why they have a more intense flavor.

The crimson red thread-like material surrounding the nutmeg is called a Mace. It is carefully removed and then dried well in the sun for a few days. The flavor of the Javitri resembles the flavor of the pepper and cinnamon blend.
