The Sumach plant grows naturally in the Mediterranean woodlands, from the Levant region to Italy. Used in Middle Eastern cuisine. When producing the spice, the ripe fruits are crushed into a fine purple-red hue powder. In addition, you can soak the fruits until they release their flavor and use the juice. The main uses of the spice are in meat and chicken dishes, salads and on onions. Sumac is also part of the spice mixture that makes up the za'atar spice.
