Sumac spice is a ground spice made from the dried burgundy red berries of the Rhus Coriaria plant, native to the Middle East. It is widely used in Mediterranean and Arab cuisines as a souring agent and flavour enhancer.
Sumac taste is fresh, fruity, and citrusy — similar to lemon juice but with a deeper, more complex fruitiness and a mild astringency. It adds bright acidity to dishes without the sharpness of vinegar or fresh citrus.
The sumac flavor profile is tangy, fruity, and bright with a subtle earthiness from the sun-drying process. It brings a citrus-like acidity and a deep burgundy colour to any dish it is added to.
Sprinkle it over salads, grilled lamb, kebabs, roasted vegetables, or yoghurt sauces. It also works as a lemon substitute in sauces like Hollandaise, and pairs wonderfully with feta, cucumber, tomatoes, and chickpeas.
Yes — sumac spice is a popular and effective alternative to lemon juice for adding acidity and brightness to dishes, particularly grilled fish, meat, and salads, without adding extra liquid.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight in an airtight container. Properly stored ground sumac retains its colour and flavour for up to 9 months.
