Mace is the outer covering of nutmeg, and is lighter in taste and color than the interior of the nutmeg. It's mostly used in baking, especially cookies. Buying whole nutmegs and gently grating the hard shell is much cheaper than buying ground mace, which has a short shelf life and is not often called for in recipes.
