USimplySeason Ground Sumac, 4 Oz

Description

Sumac is an incredibly flavorful middle eastern spice which comes from a red berry that is used to enhance the flavor of the cooking. The main component of its flavor resembles what many feel is a nice, light lemon flavor with a subtle tart nuance. The very deep-colored red berries are typically ground up into a very fine powder, usually incorporated into the base flavor of a dish or it is sprinkled on various meats.


Here s a recipe to get your started using this wonderful seasoning:
