Sumac is a deep red, tangy spice made from dried and ground sumac berries. Its flavor is tart, fruity, and slightly earthy, often compared to lemon without the sharp acidity or added liquid.

In recipes, sumac is especially useful as a finishing spice. Sprinkle it over fattoush, hummus, labneh, grilled chicken, roasted onions, kebabs, fish, eggs, or crispy potatoes to add brightness and color.

Because sumac is delicate, it shines when added near the end of cooking or stirred into dressings, marinades, yogurt sauces, and spice blends such as za'atar. It is a simple way to make savory dishes taste fresher and more balanced.
