About Lebanese spices

Lebanese spices are a vibrant blend of flavors that showcase the rich culinary heritage of the Levant. Typical spices include cumin, coriander, cinnamon, allspice, sumac, and za'atar, often complemented by fresh herbs like mint, parsley, and thyme. This mix is central to Lebanese cuisine, enhancing dishes like kibbeh, fattoush, and shawarma with earthy, tangy, and slightly sweet notes. Many of these spices are packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to heart health and improved digestion. Sumac, for instance, is a rich source of vitamin C, while za’atar blends often feature sesame seeds, which are high in healthy fats. However, some blends may contain added salt, so it's important to monitor sodium intake. Lebanese spices capture the essence of Middle Eastern flavors while offering a nutritional boost, making them a delightful and healthful addition to meals.
