Sumac by Z&Z | Ground Turkish Sumac Spice — 8 oz

Elevate your cooking with Sumac by Z&Z

Discover authentic ground sumac from the Izmir region of Turkey. This single-ingredient spice comes from dried sumac berries, harvested later in the season for a deeper reddish-purple hue and a balanced, lemony brightness that enhances a wide range of dishes.

What makes it special

Our Sumac is a true staple: dried berries ground to a flaky texture, with no salt, artificial flavors, or additives. The result is a pure, aromatic spice that delivers a tangy, citrusy note with a light, vibrant aroma.

Flavor profile and color

The flavor is tangy and aromatic, with pronounced citrus notes that brighten both savory and sweet preparations. The color leans toward a dark reddish-purple, hinting at its depth and versatility. Harvest timing contributes to a richer hue and a well-balanced lemony finish.

Ways to use Sumac

• As a dry rub or marinade base for lamb, chicken, or fish; it adds a lemony lift without added salt.
• In dressings and dips—drizzle into olive oil and lemon for refreshing salads and hummus toppings.
• Sprinkle on grains like rice or bulgur to unlock a fresh citrus edge; try on watermelon, cantaloupe, or other fruits for a surprising finish.

Flavor pairing ideas

• Pair with sesame, olive oil, and herbs for Middle Eastern-inspired dishes.
• Enhance fattoush or msakhan-inspired recipes for a traditional touch.
