Javitri mace is the aromatic outer shell of the nutmeg fruit, an evergreen tropical evergreen tree native from indonesia to malaysia, found in swampy areas.

Both the javitri and nutmeg fruit are used as spices. Javitri also known as mace has a less sweet taste and more volatile oil than nutmeg, for which reason it is often used as a substitute for it.
