So, what is sumac?
Sumac is a tangy and slightly acidic spice that comes from the dried and ground berries of the sumac plant. The spice has a bright red color and a fruity, lemony flavor with a hint of astringency. Used widely in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, sumac is a versatile seasoning that adds a zesty punch to dishes such as kebabs, salads, and dips.
