Za’atar is a flavorful Middle Eastern spice blend made from dried thyme, oregano, sumac, sesame seeds, and occasionally other herbs. Originating from the Levant region, it is a staple in cuisines from Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and beyond, often sprinkled on flatbreads, mixed with olive oil, or used as a seasoning for meats and vegetables. Rich in antioxidants, sumac adds a tangy zest and supports immune health, while sesame seeds provide healthy fats, protein, and minerals like calcium and magnesium. Thyme and oregano contribute anti-inflammatory properties and essential vitamins. Za’atar is generally healthy when consumed in moderation, but the addition of salt in some blends may require consideration for those mindful of sodium intake. This versatile spice not only enhances dishes with its vibrant, earthy flavor but also offers various health benefits, making it both a culinary and nutritional delight.
