Sumac

Sumac is a Mediterranean spice with a sharp tart flavor. Do not confuse it with "poison sumac" (commonly found in the US.)

The berries are like tiny "flying saucers", and are best ground fresh. Sprinkled over raw onions, or hummus, or even baked on fresh bread, it is delicious. (Use it where you would add fresh lemons.)
