Za'atar has a long and rich history that dates back thousands of years in the Middle East. The word "za'atar" is believed to have originated from the Arabic word for thyme, which is one of the key ingredients in the spice blend.
The use of za'atar can be traced back to ancient times, when it was used by the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans for both culinary and medicinal purposes. It was believed to have healing properties and was used to treat a variety of ailments.
In the Middle Ages, za'atar became a popular spice blend throughout the Middle East, and it was used to add flavor to bread, meat, and vegetables. It was also used as a condiment, and it was often sprinkled on top of labneh (a type of Middle Eastern yogurt) or mixed with olive oil as a dip for bread.
Today, za'atar is still a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine, and it is enjoyed around the world. It is often used as a seasoning for meat, fish, and vegetables, and it can also be sprinkled on top of hummus, roasted chickpeas, and other dishes. In addition to its culinary uses, za'atar is also believed to have health benefits, such as boosting the immune system and aiding in digestion.
