Sumac berries grow in the high, rocky plateau areas of the Mediterranean and have a rich red-burgundy color. Sumac's savory, cherry, and citrus tones make it a great substitute for lemon, tamarind, or vinegar, adding a touch of acidity that mixes well with dressings, marinades, and dry rubs.

Interested in a sweeter application? This mix of sumac and salt also tastes amazing dusted on top of berries or chocolate ice cream, and thedeep purple hue looks incredible.
