Sumac by Z&Z | Ground Turkish Sumac Spice – Tangy Citrus Berry, 2 oz

Sumac by Z&Z: authentic, single-ingredient Turkish sumac

Sumac by Z&Z is a true pantry staple—ground spice made from dried sumac berries harvested in the sun-kissed Izmir region of Turkey. This authentic mix brings a bright, citrusy tartness to your cooking while staying free of salt, artificial flavors, preservatives, or additives. As a family-owned brand, Z&Z is dedicated to sharing Middle Eastern flavors with care and integrity, letting you explore a diverse range of dishes with confidence.

What makes this sumac stand out is its color and depth. Sumac is harvested later in the season, yielding a darker reddish-purple hue and a more balanced, lemony brightness. The grind is flaky and coarse, designed to cling evenly to foods and release aroma as you cook or finish a plate.

Flavor profile and color you can see

• Pure sumac berries ground to a flaky texture with no additives
• Deeper color from late-season harvest signals richer citrus notes
• Bright, lemony tartness that enhances both savory and fresh dishes

Versatility for everyday meals

Ground sumac is a cornerstone in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking. It works beautifully in dry rubs, marinades, dressings, and as a finishing touch. Use it to complement lamb, chicken, fish, and rice, or to brighten salads, hummus, and grain bowls. It even adds a citrusy sparkle to fruit like watermelon or cantaloupe for an unexpected twist.

• Sprinkle on salads (such as fattoush) and dressings for a vivid lift
• Add to marinades and rubs to introduce tangy depth
• Dust over rice, hummus, and grain bowls for color and aroma
• Finish seafood, poultry, or grilled vegetables with a bright citrus note

Storage is simple: keep the jar in a cool, dry place away from heat to preserve aroma and color. When you open a bottle, you may notice a fresh, citrus-forward scent that signals a high-quality batch ready to elevate your meals.
