Herb-Filled & Wonderfully Tangy, With A Hint Of Nuttiness, This Alluring Spice Mix Called Zaatar Has An Incredible Aroma With Deep Roots In The Middle East. The Word Za'Atar Traditionally Referred To An Herb In The Oregano & Thyme Family Called Origanum Syriacum, And Has Reference To The Hyssop Of The Hebrew Bible. Now, More Informally, Za'Atar Refers To A Very Popular Spice Blend Made With Sumac, Sesame Seeds And Herbs. For Centuries, People Have Been Eating Zaatar Not Just For Its Savory Taste But Also For Its Reputed Health Benefits And Antioxidants. Sumac, The Main Ingredient Of Zaatar, Is A Sort Of Berry Or Bob With A Deep Crimson Color That Grows In A Cluster On A Small Sumac Shrub. Typically Ground Into Powder, Sumac Imparts A Unique Lemony And Tangy Flavor To Food And Beverages While Carrying Powerful Antioxidant Rating. And Dont Forge: Both Thyme And Oregano Are Also High In Antioxidants; Together With Calcium-Rich Sesame Seeds Makes This Blend Healthy And Delicious! The Palestinian Version Of Zaatar Includes Caraway As The Main Ingredient, But We Much Prefer The Citrus-Like Lebanese Version With Sumac. Most Commonly Zaatar Is Used As A Condiment, Typically Sprinkled On Pita Dipped In Olive Oil. But Zaatar Is Fun To Experiment With Too! Instead Of Sprinkling It On Top, Try Baking Zaatar Right Into Your Bread With Caramelized Onions! Or Marinate Chicken And Zucchini With Zaatar, Olive Oil And Salt, Then Barbeque! Or Add It Into Your Veggie Stir-Fry For Some Tangy And Nutty Flavors! For Breakfast, Sprinkle On Your Eggs, Your Oatmeal, And Especially Your Yogurt (Labne).
