Sumac
Sumac (Rhus coriaria) is a staple spice in Eastern Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, celebrated for its tangy, fruity flavor that adds brightness to a wide range of dishes. In addition to its culinary appeal, sumac is valued for its antioxidant and antiseptic properties, making it a functional ingredient as well.
At Tuna Spice, we harvest sumac berries at peak ripeness and process them with controlled salt and acidity levels to ensure consistency and quality.
