Our spectacular Cured Sumac grows wild around Gaziantep, Turkey. It has a bright, sour, salty and slightly fermented flavor that comes from being packed in salt. This is one of our most popular spices among professional chefs and home cooks alike.
Cured Sumac is a classic Middle Eastern finishing spice. Swap it for lemon juice in any recipe or use it to add character and brightness to salads, fish, meat or dips. It also makes a perfect topping for anything from hummus to salad to roasted veggies or meat to scrambled eggs.
“Tart and vivacious, invigorating citrus-like finish.” Bon Appetit

Fabulous Sumac
I love this Burlap and Barrel spice! Sumac was new to me a year or so ago when I was given a jar, and once I learned how to use it, I finished the sumac up. The quality of Burlap and Barrel sumac is far superior to the dusty tasting stuff of other brands. Now I give Burlap and Barrel spices to all my friends, and my family got them as stocking stuffers at Christmas time!! I also recommended it to a nutrition FB group that I belong to. And everybody loves the way Burlap and Barrel sources their spices for sustainability and quality.

Flavorful!
Burlap and Barrel spices are unique, always fresh and add so much character to my cooking.
