Our spectacular Cured Sumacis made using an ancient preservation technique, packing fresh, wild sumac berries in salt. 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 has a bright, sour, salty and slightly fermented flavor. This is one of our most popular spices with home cooks and professional chefs alike!

I cannot say enough about how incredible each and every one of the Burlap & Barrel spices are. From things I thought I’d never really use, to ones I which came in other sizes, the depth of flavor is levels above any other spice I have ever used.
Not only is the cured sumac outstanding in flavor, it is stunning as a garnish for just about any dish!
I do want to mention Burlap & Barrel offers stellar customer service...most likely the best I’ve experienced in eons. THANK YOU B & B TEAM!
I love Sumac; on eggs, hummus, potatoes.... you get the idea. Then I paired it with Za'atar. Oh! This combo is fantastic. As one of the other reviews stated, every spice over-delivers and goes above and beyond my expectations.
