This intensely aromatic spice is from trees native to swampy areas along the Western Ghats (mountain range) of India, and used in masalas (spice mixtures) in the region, particularly Karala. The appearance is much like Mace, but much larger and more dense. The aroma and flavor are much darker and less fruity than mace. The trees are Red List VU (Vulnerable) due to draining of the marshes in which they live for agriculture.
