It’s the same sumac used in traditional za’atar blends, grilled meats, salads, and dips across the Middle East — now available conveniently in North America.

What Makes Palestinian Sumac Special?

Unlike generic sumac powders available in stores, Palestinian sumac is made from 100% wild berries that are hand-harvested by small Palestinian farmers using sustainable practices. Once collected, the berries are sun-dried and gently crushed, preserving their essential oils, rich color, and tangy, lemony notes. The result is a spice that delivers both vibrant color and complex acidity, perfect for balancing rich and savory flavors.

Palestinian soil and climate create the ideal growing conditions for sumac trees, producing berries that are naturally high in antioxidants and polyphenols. Every spoonful reflects the land’s heritage, connecting you to a centuries-old tradition of culinary excellence.

Rich in Flavor and Nutrition

Beyond its delicious taste, sumac spice is known for its health benefits. It’s rich in antioxidants that help reduce inflammation and support heart health. The natural acidity in sumac can also aid digestion, making it a staple in wellness-focused diets. For those seeking natural, chemical-free ingredients, our Palestinian Sumac contains no additives, preservatives, or artificial colors — just pure, ground berries from Palestine’s mountains.

Ways to Use Sumac in Cooking

Sumac is one of the most versatile spices in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean kitchens. Its tart, lemon-like flavor enhances countless dishes, from grilled meats to refreshing salads. Try these popular uses:

• Sprinkle on Salads: Add a tangy twist to fattoush, tabbouleh, or garden salads.
• Season Meats & Fish: Rub on chicken, lamb, or salmon before grilling or roasting.
• Top Hummus & Dips: Garnish hummus, baba ganoush, or labneh with a dash of sumac.
• Enhance Roasted Vegetables: Toss potatoes, eggplant, or cauliflower with olive oil and sumac.
• Mix with Olive Oil: Combine with extra virgin Palestinian olive oil for a delicious dipping sauce or salad dressing.

Its subtle tartness also pairs beautifully with rice dishes, soups, and baked flatbreads — offering a healthier, flavor-packed alternative to salt or vinegar.
