Ground Sumac Berries

Sumac - The ruby-red jewel of Middle Eastern cuisine! This vibrant spice brings bright, tart, and lemony flavor that enhances dishes similar to salt but without the sodium. Unlike the poisonous sumac found in North America, culinary sumac (Rhus coriaria) has been used safely for thousands of years in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking.

Perfect for marinades, dressings, and seasoning rubs for fish, meat, or vegetables where it adds a citrusy tang that brightens flavors without overpowering them. It's the star ingredient in our Za'atar blend, and essential for seasoning hummus, rice dishes, and kebabs where it adds that distinctive tangy character.

To season lamb with sumac, brush with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and sumac prior to roasting - the sumac's acidity helps tenderize while adding complex flavor.
