Jayatri (জায়ত্রী), known as Mace in English, is a spice that comes from the Myristica fragrans tree. It is the crimson-coloured, lacy covering (aril) that surrounds the nutmeg seed. Both mace and nutmeg come from the same fruit.

| Feature | জায়ফল (Jaiphal) / Nutmeg | জায়ত্রী (Jayatri) / Mace |
|---|---|---|
| Part of Plant | The seed (kernel) inside the fruit | The red, lace-like covering (aril) around the seed |
| Form | Hard, oval-shaped seed | Brittle, flat, lacy blades or powder |
| Color | Brown | Reddish-orange (dries to yellowish-brown) |
| Flavor | Stronger, sweeter, more intense | More delicate, slightly bitter, and complex |
| Aroma | Warm, sweet, and highly aromatic | Lighter, more subtle than nutmeg |
| Culinary Use | Used in both sweet and savory dishes (e.g., garam masala, desserts) | Primarily used in savory dishes and spice blends (e.g., biryani, korma) |
