Sumac

In the kitchen

How to use sumac in cooking

Sumac is known for adding a naturally tangy touch to dishes without the sharpness of lemon. Its flavour recalls citrus with earthy undertones, making it an excellent choice for seasoning salads, grilled dishes, fish and marinades. In Middle Eastern cooking, sumac is often sprinkled over hummus, kebabs and flatbreads, adding depth of flavour and captivating colour. It can also be used in dressings, meat rubs and even refreshing drinks.
