Made from dried and ground sumac berries, it's the finishing spice of the Levant: scattered over hummus, stirred into fattoush, rubbed onto chicken before grilling. It brightens everything it touches, cutting through richness and adding a fruity acidity that citrus alone can't replicate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe colour is spectacular — a deep burgundy-purple that makes anything it touches look beautiful. The flavour is tart and fruity: slightly astringent, like cranberry with a citrus edge, with a complexity that develops as you taste it. Once you discover sumac, you'll want a jar on the table permanently. It's the Middle Eastern secret that changes the way you think about seasoning.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHOW TO USE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScatter generously over hummus with olive oil and good flatbread.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRub onto chicken before grilling or roasting for a tart, colourful crust.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdd to fattoush and grain salads — it's as much a dressing as a spice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStir into yogurt dips, tzatziki, and labneh.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMix with olive oil and dried thyme for a classic Levantine bread dipping blend.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePAIRS WELL WITH\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOregano, Thyme, Garlic Powder, Rainbow Peppercorn Blend — Living Colours\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Colour of Life Spices","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52379617657114,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/8160\/0794\/files\/sumac_gritty.jpg?v=1782069088","url":"https:\/\/colouroflifespices.com\/products\/sumac-the-sour-jewel-of-the-middle-east","provider":"Colour of Life Spices","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
