Za’atar

A simple middle eastern blend of spices, za’atar adds a lemony-herb zing to dishes and salads. You can add Za’atar to hummus or olive oil on bread or just sprinkle it on your salad.


Sumac

An ingredient that surprisingly has yet to gain the world popularity it deserves is sumac. Referred to as a healing herb, sumac is high in vitamin C, low in calorie, and is an antioxidant.
