Mace, a spice from India that comes from the Myristica scent tree, is called Javitri in Hindi. Nutmeg is the tree's seed. The mace, or net-like layer, protects the nutmeg seed coat. Mace has a more potent taste because it contains a larger concentration of the same essential oil as nutmeg.

It is a spice with a golden hue that forms a hard shell around nutmeg. This spice, also known as jatisasya or jatifala in Ayurveda, is high in nutrients. Mace is beneficial for a number of conditions, including asthma, congestion, and sleeplessness. Javitri is used as a spice in powder form, which has many health advantages.
