Ground Sumac Berries have a friendly, welcoming scent that lives somewhere between ripe raspberries and tart lemon. These ground berries, fruits of the Mediterranean red sumac, provide a vibrant red color and a straightforward, lemony flavor, accented with a touch of salt present from their processing, to dishes. Sumac contains 4% tannins by weight and pronounced acidity which comes mainly from malic acid. Their pH ranges between 2.5-3.5, which puts their acidity squarely between orange juice and tomato juice; these factors contribute heavily to sumac’s signature tart flavor.

Our Ground Sumac comes from berries grown in Turkey.
