Sumac, a tangy and vibrant spice, is a staple in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. The dark red powder is made from dried berries that grow on a shrub, and it has a sour, acidic flavor with hints of lemon and salt. Sumac is often used as a seasoning for meat, fish, and vegetables, and it's also sprinkled on salads, dips, and hummus. In addition to its culinary uses, sumac is believed to have health benefits, such as reducing inflammation and improving digestion. Its unique flavor and versatility make it a must-have ingredient in any kitchen.
