About Sumac

Sumac is a tangy, reddish-purple spice made from the ground berries of the Rhus genus of plants, native to the Mediterranean and Middle East. It has a sour, citrus-like flavor that is used to add a bright, tart taste to dishes, as a souring agent, or as a colorful garnish for dishes like hummus, salads, and grilled meats.
