Organic Ground Sumac

Deep burgundy, sharp and a little sour — sumac does what lemon does, but dry, and it stays that way on the shelf instead of going bad in the fridge.

Certified organic. Tested the same as the rest of the collection.

What is sumac spice?

Sumac is made from the dried, ground berries of the Rhus coriaria shrub, which grows across the Middle East and Mediterranean. It has a bright, tangy, lemon-like flavor and a deep red color. It isn't related to poison sumac, which is a different plant.

How to use it

Sprinkle it on hummus, grilled meats, kebabs, roasted vegetables, eggs and fish, or toss it with sliced red onions for a quick topping. It's a key ingredient in za'atar and fattoush salad. Use it anywhere you'd add a squeeze of lemon, without the liquid.
