❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the difference between Nutmeg and Mace?

Both spices come from the same fruit of the Myristica fragrans tree.

• Nutmeg is the inner hard seed.
• Mace (Jathipathri) is the delicate red-orange outer covering surrounding the seed.

Mace has a lighter, sweeter, and more complex flavor, while nutmeg has a stronger, woodier taste.

Q2: Why does some mace look pale yellow or dark brown?

High-quality, freshly dried mace has a vibrant orange-yellow or reddish-orange color.

• Extremely pale mace is usually old stock that has lost much of its essential oils.
• Very dark brown mace often indicates improper drying or moisture damage.

Pavis Mace is carefully dried to maintain its naturally vibrant color and rich essential oil content.

Q3: How much Jathipathri should I use in cooking?

Premium mace is highly potent, so a little goes a long way.

Just 1–2 whole blades are enough to flavor a large pot of chicken curry or biryani serving 4–6 people.

Q4: How should I store Pavis Mace to keep it fresh?

Keep it in the provided Pavis airtight pouch or transfer it to a dark glass jar.

Store it in a cool, dry cupboard, away from direct sunlight, heat, and stove steam to help preserve its natural essential oils and aroma.
