Zaatar

Zaatar is a Middle Eastern spice blend that typically includes thyme, oregano, sumac, sesame seeds, and salt. It’s aromatic and flavorful, often used as a seasoning or topping. Zaatar can be sprinkled on bread (like flatbreads or manakish), mixed with olive oil for dipping, or added to dishes for a tangy, savory boost. Its unique combination of herbs and sour sumac gives it a distinctive taste, popular across the Levant region and beyond. Zaatar is valued for its versatility, aromatic qualities, and nutritional benefits, making it a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine.
