Sumac

The tangy, ruby-red spice that brightens every dish it touches.

Sumac is one of the most distinctive spices of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking. Made from dried and ground sumac berries, it has a naturally tart, fruity flavor often described as lemony, but with its own earthy depth and character.

Traditionally sprinkled over foods just before serving, Sumac adds both vibrant color and a bright burst of flavor. It is essential in fattoush, wonderful over hummus, and an easy way to wake up grilled chicken, lamb, fish, rice, roasted vegetables, salads, dips, and grain dishes.

Ways to use Sumac:

• Sprinkle generously over fattoush, hummus, or salads
• Season grilled chicken, lamb, fish, and kebabs
• Finish rice, roasted vegetables, lentils, and grain dishes
• Stir into yogurt dips, marinades, and salad dressings
• Sprinkle over eggs, avocado, or flatbread for a bright, tangy finish
