Mace Flakes (Broken Javitri)जावित्री टुकड़ा
Properties
Mace Flakes refer to the broken pieces of the Javitri aril (Myristica fragrans). Because whole mace is extremely fragile and brittle when dried, many pieces break off during transport and handling. These broken flakes hold the exact same exquisite, peppery-citrus flavor and nutritional profile as whole mace but are sold at a lower premium, making them perfect for roasting and grinding into Garam Masala.
