Sumac is a typically in powder form and is from a berry. It provides food with a tart and very earthy flavor. It is Middle Eastern in origin and is a usual component of za'tar which is a mix of spices also often used in Middle Eastern cooking. <br /><br />I personally like to switch things up and try new flavors, especially drawing on other cuisines - it keeps things interesting! I got my za'tar through an online site that I use to buy a lot of uncommon herbs and spices (www.penezys.com) but I'm willing to bet you could find this at whole foods or any specialty food store. <br /><br />Good luck!The Small Boston Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11068604673389902901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134825154408998925.post-37425076309530459592010-03-07T22:04:59.728-05:002010-03-07T22:04:59.728-05:00The salad looks and sounds delicious, however, I h...The salad looks and sounds delicious, however, I have never heard of a spice called sumac. Where might I find the ingredient za'atar? Here again, I have never heard of it. Does it have a big "kick" to it? Love your blog - now I always know what I can make for dinner. You are the best!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
