Sumac should have a fruity, fragrant, and slightly tart taste that can add an element of freshness to salad, fish, and rice. We use no salt or citric acid, leaving the pure essence of sumac without any additives or preservatives.

Sumac is a key ingredient in Lebanese salads. It is also perfect with fish, rice, or as a marinade for chicken or meat. Try adding it to your next yogurt marinade for a lemony twist.

Sumac is a native plant to the Levantine region and flourishes in the climate naturally. This means its agriculture does not need extensive irrigation or infrastructure. Our farmers just harvest, grind, and package!
