Mace
Dok Jun Ted ดอกจันทน์เทศ
Mace is the outside tissue that partially covers the nutmeg seed. The fragrance is similar to nutmeg but stronger and more refreshing. It is used in a few curries, Massaman included.
Mace is available whole or ground. I prefer the whole mace because it retains its fragrance better than the ground mace.
Mace can be pricey, but I found the best price and quality at Indian markets.
