Mace, ground

Ground mace is a powdered spice made from the dried covering around the nutmeg seed. It provides fat, some protein and a range of minerals. Per 100g, it contains 32g of fat, including 9.5g of saturated fat, as well as 6.7g of protein and 14mg of iron.

Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen around the body. The minerals in mace also include calcium and magnesium, which contribute to normal bone maintenance. Mace is generally used in small amounts as a seasoning, so its contribution to nutrient and saturated fat intake depends on the quantity used. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
