Through Nutrada’s network of certified partners, buyers gain access to trusted mace suppliers offering bulk mace in whole, powder, and tea cut forms. Mace, derived from the outer covering of the nutmeg seed, holds a key place in the herbs and spices market for seasonings, blends, and extracts.
Mace is the dried lacy covering (aril) of the nutmeg seed, sourced from the Myristica fragrans tree. Once separated, mace is dried and traded in various forms, offering a more delicate flavor compared to nutmeg. It is valued in both culinary and herbal applications worldwide.
Mace is harvested year-round in tropical regions, with peak harvest aligning with nutmeg production. The arils are removed during nutmeg processing, dried, and then prepared for export. Seasonal factors affect both quality and global availability.
The largest producers of mace are in Indonesia, particularly the Banda Islands, and Grenada, known as the “Spice Island.” Other producing countries include India, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia, which contribute to international trade.
Mace remains in strong demand in the herbs and spices market, especially for spice blends and flavoring extracts. Buyers often source mace alongside nutmeg, as both products are traded together. Organic and certified supply is increasingly important for food processors and exporters.
Nutrada connects buyers with certified mace manufacturers offering bulk, private label, and organic supply.
Bulk mace is packed in 20–25 kg bags or cartons, stacked on pallets for international trade. Shelf life is up to 24 months when stored in dry and cool conditions. Bulk shipments are widely used by spice blenders and food processors.
