Sumac, a member of the cashew family, is grown in the Middle East and Mediterranean. It’s related to but wildly different from the one growing in your backyard! An essential part of Arabic and Lebanese cooking, it has a distinctive tangy, lemony flavour and a spicy, earthy, woody aroma. The shrub’s red berries are dried and ground into a coarse powder, to add a gorgeous pop of brick-red colour to any food.
