Ground Mace

Ground mace offers a warm, slightly sweet, and aromatic flavor with hints of nutmeg and pepper. Its deep orange-red powder releases a fragrant, woodsy aroma that evokes the spice markets of Indonesia, its native origin. The texture is fine and velvety, making it easy to blend into dishes. Valued for its subtle complexity, ground mace adds depth to both sweet and savory dishes without overpowering other ingredients.

Chicken Drumsticks

Succulent and meaty, chicken drumsticks are a flavorful cut known for their rich taste and tender texture. Roasted, grilled, or fried, they offer a satisfyingly juicy experience with crispy skin.
