Product Review
This popular Middle Eastern spice adds a unique tart lemony flavor and beautiful deep crimson color to hummus, dips, cheese spreads, salads, meat and poultry dishes.
RECOMMENDED USES:
Sumac is so versatile and can be added to so many dishes, you can use it much like you use salt (to taste). You can season salads, add to meat or poultry before cooking or even add to popcorn.
HOW DO YOU USE IT AS A SALT SUBSTITUTE IF IT IS SOURY MORE THAN SALTY
If you use genuine Sumac without additives, when added to meat, poultry or even fish before cooking, the reaction during the cooking process enhances the salty taste of the Sumak, allowing you to reduce or not use salt at all.
WHAT IS THE SUMAC TRADITIONALLY USED FOR?
Sumac has been used for centuries by cooks and by traditional herbalists and healers. It is one of the main ingredients in Za'atar and very popular on Hummus and other middle eastern dishes.
DO I NEED TO ALWAYS COOK IT BEFORE EATING?
No, Sumac can be added to dishes and eaten without any cooking process whatsoever. You can just sprinkle it on top of Hummus or season salads. The amount you should use when adding to any of these dishes is to taste.
