Sumac

Sumac is a Middle Eastern spice made from the fruit of the sumac bush. Rubs of sumac are often used to add flavor to meats and vegetables. Its tart, slightly sour taste is reminiscent of citrus fruits like lemons. In Persian cuisine, sumac is commonly used as a garnish for rice dishes. Sumac's unique flavor profile makes it a popular choice for seasoning soups and stews.
