Sumac is a vibrant, crimson-colored spice derived from the dried berries of the sumac shrub. Its flavor profile is distinctly tart and lemony, often described as having a tangy, fruity zest with a slightly earthy undertone. Ground sumac has a coarse, granular texture and is prized for its ability to add brightness and acidity to dishes. The dried berries are ground to create a versatile spice used in many culinary applications. It is a common ingredient in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine.

Sumac should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, such as a pantry or spice cabinet. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and moisture, which can cause it to lose its potency and flavor. Properly stored sumac can last for up to 1-2 years, although the aroma might diminish over time. Check for a vibrant color and strong aroma before use to ensure freshness.
