Our ground red sumac, a culinary prize, comes from wild sumac bushes native to Turkey and flourishing across the Middle East. Once dried, these vibrant brick-to-dark purple-red berries yield a unique flavor profile – a harmonious blend of fruity, sour, and astringent notes with a subtle aroma. It's essential for those seeking to add an authentic Middle Eastern twist to their dishes.
