Spices - Sumac

Sumac is one of the most instantly recognizable spices of the Middle East. This versatile ingredient is used worldwide to enhance and compliment the flavors of everything from hearty grilled meats and fish, to fresh vegetables and delicate desserts. The flavor is reminiscent of salt with fresh lemon juice, that is followed by an astringent powerful punch, we like to say that a little goes a long way. While having a diverse flavor profile, sumac still blends exceptionally well with other spices such as allspice, chili, thyme, and cumin.
