Descripción
Wild Elephant Sumac is an earthy, tangy and slightly floral spice — lemony and bright, but without the bitterness. Its beautiful crimson colour livens up almost any dish, from hummus to grilled meats.
What is Sumac?
Sumac is a popular spice used across Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking, made from the dried, ground berries of the Rhus coriaria shrub. It's also a key ingredient in the classic Arabic seasoning za'atar.
What does Sumac taste like?
Sumac has a tangy, citrus-like flavour similar to lemon or lime, but softer and less sharp. It adds brightness and acidity to a dish without any added moisture.
How to use Sumac
Sprinkle it over hummus, dips, salads and roasted vegetables, or use it to finish grilled meats and fish. Sumac is also great stirred into spice mixes, seasonings, marinades and rubs — and essential for homemade za'atar.

Is sumac spicy?
No. Sumac is tangy and lemony rather than hot, so it brightens a dish without adding any chilli heat.
