Ground sumac is the secret weapon of Middle Eastern cooking ‚ deeply tart and lemony in flavor, it functions like salt or vinegar to brighten and balance other flavors without adding heat. Sprinkle it over hummus, salads, roasted vegetables, and grilled meats as a finishing condiment, or build it into marinades and dressings where lemon flavor is wanted without acidity. Essential in za'atar, and a revelation on its own.

About This Blend

Sumac comes from the berries of Rhus coriaria ‚ a bush indigenous to the Middle East ‚ and was the souring agent of choice in Roman and Arab cooking before lemons became widely available in the region.

Flavor Profile

Used as the primary souring agent in Roman and Arab cooking before lemons arrived in the region, sumac offers tart, fruity acidity in pure dry form ‚ no liquid, no citrus, and no sourness that overwhelms.
