About This Item
About This Item
Discover the genuine flavor of Urfa Sumac, a premium spice drawn from the culinary traditions of Şanlıurfa in southeastern Turkey. This distinctive variety shows a deep reddish-brown hue and a tangy, fruity character with a signature touch of smoky depth. The berries are picked in late summer, then dried and ground with care, delivering a well-rounded acidity that lifts any savory dish. Rather than following the standard method, our sumac is chopped and cured with salt, a traditional technique that locks in its natural oils and strong aroma. This time-tested process results in a high-quality spice that professional chefs value for its adaptability across both modern and traditional cooking styles.
Enhance Your Recipes with Urfa Sumac
Use it to bring out the best in salads, marinades, and roasted vegetables. It combines wonderfully with cumin, coriander, fresh parsley, and mint.
HISTORY
The word "sumac" comes down to us through Old French and Latin, originating from the Arabic "summāq," which refers to the fruit of the sumac tree. Mediterranean civilizations have relied on these berries for thousands of years, both as a key souring ingredient and as a medicinal herb.
COOKING TIPS
- Use it as a finishing spice: sprinkle over grilled meats or roasted vegetables right before serving to keep its delicate flavor intact.
- Make a marinade: the tart acidity of Urfa Sumac serves as a strong base for tenderizing poultry, lamb, or beef.
- Substitute for citrus: this spice can stand in for lemon juice in nearly any savory recipe.
- Add it to dips: mix into hummus or tzatziki to give your appetizers a zesty kick and vivid color.
- Use in dressings: whisk together with olive oil, honey, and fresh herbs for a bright, tangy vinaigrette that brings greens to life.
- Try it in rice: mix into the cooking water or sprinkle over finished rice dishes for a subtle, earthy layer of flavor.
