Sumac 125ml jar

Packed in a 125ml returnable jar - contains approximately 20g of product.

Bring a brilliant splash of ruby-red color and a vibrant, tangy punch to your cooking with our premium ground sumac. Sourced from the dried and crushed dark red berries of wild shrubs native to the Mediterranean and Middle East, this extraordinary spice is celebrated for its unique, fruit-forward acidity, offering a bright citrusy lift without the liquid of fresh lemons or vinegar.

Flavor and Aroma Sumac boasts a fruity, rustic, and deeply aromatic fragrance with subtle hints of dried fruit and wild herbs. On the palate, it delivers a sharp, clean, and pleasantly tart acidity complemented by a mild, earthy warmth. It mimics the brightness of fresh lemon juice but with a softer, more rounded, and complex fruitiness.

Culinary Uses

• Finishing Dust: Generously sprinkle ground sumac over hummus, whipped feta, or baba ganoush just before serving. It adds both a striking splash of deep red color and a tangy contrast to rich, creamy dips.

• Salads and Dressings: An essential component of traditional Middle Eastern fattoush salad. Dust it over fresh tomato, cucumber, and herb salads, or whisk it into olive oil and lemon dressings for an extra layer of brightness.

• Meats and Poultry: Use as a stellar dry rub or marinade ingredient for lamb kebabs, chicken skewers, or roasted fish. The spice caramelizes slightly under high heat, imparting a savory, tart crust.

• Roasted Vegetables: Toss roasted cauliflower florets, carrots, eggplant, or chickpeas in olive oil, salt, and a generous teaspoon of sumac right as they come out of the oven to elevate their earthy sweetness.
