nutmeg. 1  the hard, aromatic seed of an East Indian tree (Myristica fragrans) of the nutmeg family: it is grated and used as a spice, and its outer covering yields the spice mace. 2  the tree itself.
Mace, Blade. Mace, which comes from the same tropical fruit that produces nutmeg, has a softer, fruitier flavor than nutmeg. These whole pieces are suitable for adding to mulling spices or marinades. Details. The nutmeg tree, Myristica fragrans, is the only tree that produces two separate spices. The fruit contains a hard pit, which is a nutmeg, while the lacy red membrane which surrounds it is mace. The delicate membrane is carefully peeled away from the shell of the nutmeg and spread to dry in the sun, fading from bright red to orangy-brown as it dries.
