The Ancient Health Benefits of Sumac

The Sumac or Sumach plant has been renowned for over 2,000 years. While its primary use has been in Middle Eastern cuisine, it has also been prevalent in Iran, Turkey, and Yemen. Cooks have utilized Sumac for centuries, and it has also been used medicinally as an astringent, antiseptic, and tonic. At one point, there was even Sumac-infused pink lemonade, which not only tasted delicious but also helped cool feverish patients.

Perfect Pantry Essential: Sumac

Sumac is an authentic Middle Eastern and North African spice that boasts a citrusy flavor, fruity notes, and a slightly tart taste. These Sumac berries are dried and crushed to form a vibrant red, fresh, and lemony spice that adds a splash of color and depth to any dish. Our Sumac contains no preservatives, artificial flavors, or MSG, ensuring a pure and natural taste experience.

Sumac pairs beautifully with fattoush salad, eggs, popcorn, and as a dry rub on chicken, lamb, fish, and vegetables. Enjoy it with pita bread and hummus for a truly authentic Middle Eastern taste.
