Sumac

What Is Sumac?

Sumac is made from carefully dried and ground red sumac berries. This unique spice delivers a zesty, lemon-like flavor that balances savory dishes with natural acidity, without the sharpness of vinegar or lemon juice. Add a tangy taste to your dishes with the Sumac mainly from Lebanon, Turkey, Iran as well as Palestine.

In Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking, Sumac is used as a finishing spice on grilled chicken, kebabs, hummus, fattoush salad, roasted vegetables, or even sprinkled over rice and seafood. Its rich, slightly tart flavor enhances taste and adds color to every dish.

Uses of Sumac Powder

• Sprinkle over grilled meats, kebabs, and shawarma for a tangy finish.

• Use in Fattoush salad or any salad, Baba Ganoush, or roasted vegetables.
• Ideal for adding a Mediterranean twist to your regular Bangladeshi recipes.

Difference Between Turkish and Palestinian Sumac:

• While both varieties come from the same Sumac plant family, their flavor and color profiles differ slightly due to regional soil and climate.
• Turkish Sumac tends to have a brighter red hue and a slightly lighter tangy flavor, making it perfect for marinades and meat rubs.
• Palestinian Sumac, on the other hand, is darker and stronger, often with subtle earthy notes that pair beautifully with salads and traditional Levantine dishes.
