Why Za atar Seasoning from Smith and Truslow?

Za’atar Seasoning combines the tangy, lemony flavor of sumac berries, with a slightly nutty quality of sesame seeds, and a savory finish of blended herbs. Sprinkle it on vegetables, use as a rub for meats, or add to yogurt or olive oil as a dip. As with all our blends, we only use organic, gluten free, kosher and heavy metal tested ingredients.  There are no additives, so the flavor of our pure ingredients shines through.
