Sumac – An Exotic Spice with Many Uses
Introduction:
Sumac is a spice commonly used in many countries around the Mediterranean and the Middle East. The sumac tree grows as a shrub and produces red berries that can be processed into a versatile seasoning.
The Sumac Tree:
The sumac tree is a small shrub that typically reaches a height of 1.5 to 5 meters. It grows wild in many regions of the Mediterranean and the Middle East. The tree produces red berries that, when ripe, take on a deep red color and can be processed into a spice.
The Sumac Fruit:
The sumac fruit is a small, tangy berry that grows in clusters on the branches of the sumac tree. The berries are initially green and turn red as they ripen. They are hand-harvested and dried before being ground into a fine red powder.
Sumac Spice Production:
The production of sumac spice is a labor-intensive process that requires careful handwork. The dried sumac berries are manually sorted to remove stems and leaves before being ground. The fine powder has a strong lemon-like aroma and a vibrant red color.
Sumac as a spice:
Sumac is used as a spice in many kitchens, adding a sour and tangy note to dishes.
