HOW TO USE IT WHEN COOKING
Sumac is an essential spice in Middle Eastern cuisine. The fruity flavour of sumac strengthens the taste buds. Sumac powder has a very salty taste, so it can be used instead of salt.
It is mainly used to flavour fish, seafood, kebabs and salads. Sumac is becoming more and more widely used in Europe.
In Lebanese and Turkish cuisines, sumac is often mixed with yoghurt or used to make sauces to go with dishes.
