Jawitri (Mace) is the dried, lacy reddish-yellow outer covering of the nutmeg seed (Myristica fragrans), revered in Indian cuisine for its delicate, warm, and sweet-aromatic flavor. It is a key ingredient in garam masala, biryanis, and curries, providing intense aroma and a subtle bitterness. Beyond culinary use, it aids digestion and has anti-inflammatory properties.
