Unique Qualities

Sumac is a lemony, tangy spice made from the dried berries of the sumac bush. It has been a cornerstone of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking for centuries, prized for adding brightness without acidity.

Sourcing Details

Cybele’s Harvest Sumac is harvested in Turkey at peak ripeness and carefully dried and ground into a vibrant red powder. We ensure each batch is free from fillers, preserving the berry’s pure, citrusy flavor.

Flavor Profile

With a tart, lemon-like taste and subtle fruitiness, Sumac is a perfect finishing spice. It enlivens grilled meats, salads, rice, dips, and roasted vegetables — adding freshness where lemon juice might be too sharp.
