When you think of tangy, citrusy flavors, your mind might go to lemons or limes. But there’s another bright star in the kitchen – right in the spice cabinet: sumac. Made from the dried, ground berries of the sumac shrub, this spice adds a lively, lemony tartness that wakes up the palate.
For centuries, cooks have reached for sumac to elevate simple dishes. It’s sprinkled over grilled meats, roasted vegetables, fresh salads, and creamy dips. It brings a pop of flavor that’s bold without being overpowering, and it has long been prized for its ability to balance richness and refresh the taste buds.
Sumac is a staple in kitchens where food is both nourishment and tradition. That’s why you’ll find sumac in our spice section, ready for your own home cooking. And it’s why we’re thrilled to introduce it to our kitchen, featured in our new Grilled Sumac Chicken. The spice’s lemony brightness cuts through the richness of the meat, creating a dish that’s deeply satisfying yet surprisingly fresh.
How can you use sumac at home? Try a sprinkle over roasted cauliflower or potatoes. Add it to a vinaigrette for a tangy twist. Stir it into hummus for a burst of color and flavor. Or, if dust it over popcorn…seriously, do it! It’s delicious!
When you shop at New Morning Market, you’re not just finding groceries, you’re discovering a marketplace of tastes, traditions, and possibilities. That’s the magic of Flavors of the Market.
So next time you’re in, grab a jar of sumac or try our Sumac Grilled Chicken. Brighten your table. Surprise your taste buds. Celebrate flavor.
