Sumak/Sumaq/Somaq
Fox’s Spices Sumac 550g is a bright, tangy seasoning made from dried and ground sumac berries. It brings a clean lemon like sharpness to savoury dishes without adding any liquid, making it a popular choice for anyone who wants a simple way to add freshness and depth. The texture is fine and slightly coarse, which helps it cling well to meat, salads and roasted vegetables. Sumac is widely used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking, and it has become a common ingredient in modern kitchens thanks to its ability to add gentle acidity and colour to everyday meals. It works particularly well as a finishing touch, sprinkled over food just before serving.
Key Features:
- Large 550g catering size that provides excellent value and long lasting use for regular cooking.
- Naturally tangy berry flavour that offers an easy alternative to lemon or vinegar when you want a dry seasoning.
- Fine textured blend that mixes smoothly with rubs, marinades and dressings.
- A versatile spice that suits poultry, lamb, vegetables and salads, as well as grain based dishes.
Recipe Inspiration:
- Try mixing sumac with olive oil and garlic to make a simple marinade for grilled chicken.
- Stir a spoonful into yoghurt with a little salt to make a quick dip for flatbreads or crudités.
- Scatter over roasted carrots or aubergines to add a bright finish and extra flavour.
- Combine with chopped herbs and tomatoes to make a fresh salad topping for rice or couscous.
What does sumac taste like?
Sumac has a naturally sharp, citrus like flavour that adds freshness to savoury dishes without overpowering other ingredients.
Is sumac the same as zaatar?
No. Zaatar is a seasoning blend that usually contains herbs, sesame seeds and sumac, while sumac on its own is simply the ground berry.
Can you cook with sumac or is it only for finishing?
Sumac can be used both ways. It works well as a seasoning during cooking, but many people enjoy adding it at the end to keep its bright flavour.
