Whole Javitri (Mace) 50g – Price in Pakistan

CHILTAN PURE Dasht Whole Javitri (جاوتری) is an aromatic whole spice used to add a warm, gently sweet, woody fragrance to traditional South Asian cooking. Javitri is the dried, lace-like red covering (aril) around the nutmeg seed. It is related to nutmeg but is not the same part: nutmeg powder (jaiphal) comes from the seed, while javitri comes from its outer covering.

جاوتری کیا ہے؟ (Javitri in Urdu)

جاوتری ایک خوشبودار مصالحہ ہے جو جائفل کے بیج کے گرد موجود باریک، جالی دار بیرونی تہہ کو خشک کرکے حاصل کیا جاتا ہے۔ اسے بریانی، پلاؤ، قورمہ، نہاری، یخنی، شوربوں اور گرم مصالحے میں خوشبو اور ذائقہ بڑھانے کے لیے تھوڑی مقدار میں استعمال کیا جاتا ہے۔ جاوتری اور جائفل ایک ہی پودے سے حاصل ہوتے ہیں، لیکن دونوں مختلف حصے ہیں۔

Javitri, Mace: Different Names Around the World

• Pakistan (Urdu): جاوتری، جاوتری مصالحہ
• India (Hindi): जावित्री (Javitri), जायपत्री (Jayapatri); regional spellings may vary
• Tamil: சாதிபத்திரி / சாபத்திரி (regional names for mace)
• English: Mace, Whole Mace
• Arabic/Unani usage: Basbasa / Bisbasa (بسباسہ), a name used for mace in some sources
• Botanical source: Myristica fragrans

Note: Jaiphal / जायफल / جائفل generally refers to nutmeg, the seed itself—not javitri (mace), the seed covering.

How to Use Whole Javitri in Cooking

• Biryani and pulao: Add a small piece while cooking the whole spices for a warm, fragrant rice dish.
• Qorma, curry and nihari: Use a little in the whole-spice stage or in a homemade spice blend.
• Yakhni, soups and broths: Add a small piece during simmering, then remove it before serving if desired.
• Garam masala: Lightly toast with other whole spices, cool, and grind. Explore our Garam Masala Powder.
• Slow-cooked dishes and marinades: Use sparingly so its aroma complements rather than overwhelms the other spices.

Start with a small piece; whole javitri has a concentrated aroma. Adjust according to the quantity of food and your taste.

What Are the Benefits of Javitri?

• Rich, distinctive aroma: Adds a warm, gently sweet and complex flavour to savoury dishes.
• Versatile kitchen spice: Suitable for rice dishes, gravies, broths and homemade spice blends.
• Whole-spice convenience: Can be added during cooking and removed before serving if you prefer not to bite into the spice.
• Traditional culinary use: It is used in many South Asian recipes to round out the flavour of mixed spices.

Health note: Javitri contains naturally occurring aromatic compounds, but strong claims that it treats digestive problems, diabetes, insomnia, pain or other diseases are not established by good clinical evidence. Use it as a culinary spice, not as a medicine or a substitute for medical care.

Precautions and Safe Use

• Use only small, food-level quantities in recipes. Do not eat large amounts or use concentrated javitri oil/extract as a home remedy.
• High intake of mace or related nutmeg products may cause nausea, dizziness, agitation, rapid heartbeat or other serious neurological effects.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, avoid medicinal or concentrated amounts; ask a qualified healthcare professional about use beyond normal seasoning.
• People with a medical condition or those taking regular medicines should consult a doctor or pharmacist before using javitri as a supplement or in medicinal quantities.
• Keep away from children and do not use it to try to induce sleep or alter mood.
