Spicy World Sumac Spice Powder 7 Ounce Bag - Ground Sumac, Sumac Seasoning (Sumak)

Very good taste

Sprinkle on just about everything! fresh, full flavored and fantastic on my fattoush.Ingredients:2 pita pocket breads, cut into strips about 3/4 inch wide, then toasted and crumbled2 heads romaine lettuce, chopped1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion1 cup diced tomatoes1 cup diced cucumber1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint leaves1/2 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley leavesoptional ingredients: chopped green pepper and or radishesDressing Ingredients:1 tsp. chopped garlic (2-4 cloves garlic)1 tsp. salt (I like kosher)1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice, about 2 large lemons (adjust the amount to your own taste)1 tsp. Sumac, plus more for sprinkling on individual salads if desired1/2 cup extra virgin olive oilInstructions: Preheat oven to 400F.While oven heats, mash together the chopped garlic and salt using a mortar and pestle, or the side of a knife or spoon. Put garlic-salt paste in a small bowl, then add lemon juice and 1 tsp. Sumac. Whisk in olive oil and set dressing aside. You can also make the dressing in a glass jar and shake to combine.Cut pita into strips about 3/4 inch wide and arrange on baking sheet, can brush with olive oil if you like. Bake until pita strips are crisp but only barely starting to brown, less than 10 minutes. Watch carefully because they can go from toasty to burnt rather quickly.Remove outer leaves from romaine, trim, wash, spin dry or dry with paper towels. Cut Romaine into fourths lengthwise, then turn and chop crosswise into small pieces. Put chopped romaine into large salad bowl.Chop tomatoes, green onions, cucumbers, mint, and parsley and add to lettuce. Add about half of the dressing and toss, then add crumbled pita chops and toss again with more dressing. You may not use all the dressing, salad should be quite wet. Let salad sit for a few minutes (or longer) to let flavors blend and so the pita chips absorb some of the dressing. Sprinkle with a bit more Sumac before serving.

I have encountered sumac in Persian and Kurdish restaurants, and noticed that its tartness reduces the need to salt food - at least for me. I found the price reasonable, and mine tasted great. I was surprised it was ground a bit coarsely, as I would prefer it in a finer grind. I'll be ordering more!

omg Amazing, I try like 10 different brand from all over the world and always thought the persian kind is the best quality, I was wrong. Try this

I love the smoky, earthy and citrus flavor this spice imparts to all of my Indian and Thai recipes. It comes in a re-sealable package, is super fresh and a quality spice addition to my herb/spice pantry.

Perfect for MidEastern dishes. But know this is not a cooking spice. It will lose its flavor when heated. Add as a finishing spice. Gives a better presentation.

I know that prices change over time but I paid $6.99 for it. Even though I live in South Florida (in the top 10 most populous metro areas in the US), it's difficult to find this spice- and of course never this much for this price. It's pretty essential whenever I try my hand at Middle Eastern food. I wish I could describe the flavor but it's unique (like how would you describe the flavor of a strawberry to someone that's never had one? lol), some people say it tastes citrus-like but I don't agree. You'll have to try it for yourself- bon appétit!

Hummus needs this! Delicious!

I've tried other brands over the years but this one is superior! Superior quality, superior flavour and the gorgeous deep red just is fabulous! If you're not quite satisfied with whatever brand(s) you've tried over the years, may I recommend this company's Sumak? You won't regret it!

Great lemon-pepperish spice flavour. Fresh! Love it!

I've used this multiple times in mediterranean-inspired recipes and it really enhances the flavour.

I think the grind is a bit too fine for me to buy it again, but it's still nice. I like it more coarse so it really pops.

First time using this spice, made a delicious Chicken, Sumac and Lemon dinner.
