About Zatar

Za'atar is a flavorful spice blend originating from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. Typically made from a combination of dried thyme, sumac, sesame seeds, and salt, this mix varies slightly depending on regional traditions. Known for its tangy, nutty, and herbal notes, za'atar is commonly used to season meats, vegetables, salads, and breads, such as the beloved flatbread, manakish. Nutritionally, za'atar offers several health benefits. Thyme is rich in antioxidants and vitamins, sumac contains anti-inflammatory properties, and sesame seeds are a good source of healthy fats, calcium, and fiber. It is a relatively low-calorie seasoning that can enhance flavor without needing excessive salt or fat, although it’s worth noting that store-bought varieties may contain added salt. Versatile and nutrient-rich, za'atar is a wholesome addition to meals, blending vibrant flavor with a range of potential health-supporting components.
