Badia Sumac 4.75 oz (134.6g)

Couldn't find this in ANY local store, but wanted it for a Mediterranean recipe, this sumac was fresh, bright, and flavorful. really high quality especially for the price. Will definitely buy again.

Since we started our health journey I have been making my own hummus. Yes, you can add paprika and oil on the top, but sumac makes such a big difference. Perfect blending with hummus and pretty much anything Mediterranean. It is a great spice to have on hand. If you prefer to buy your hummus in the store, first off, get a good one. Then you can dress it up with all kinds of spices and extra virgin olive oil. But the biggest addition should be sumac. I don’t know if it has any specific health benefits but it does add a great taste. Highly recommended and it will last a long time.

Adds just the right amount of tart to balance the flavor

It isn't in constant use, and when I do use it, it's because nothing else will do. This bottle will probably last me for years - and that's OK with me. I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Sumac, if you haven’t already had the joy of tasting it yet, is like a powered lemon, but much more mild, and with a more complex flavor. It’s great on it own, I like it a lot on hummus, or as a component to marinades and spice blends. It plays nice with many other flavors and is very versatile. The only problem is that most grocery stores that sell sumac only do so in small containers. If you’re a sumac fan you know this simply won’t do. Which is why I was so happy to find this extra large bottle for sale. I’m very happy about this purchase, to me it takes just as fresh and delightful as the much smaller, and more expensive containers, that I’d been buying in the stores. I highly recommend you buy right away, and consume with a heavy hand.
