Sumac Berries grow on a bush and the berries turn bright red in the fall. This Sumac used in culinary applications is grown in the Middle East. Ground Sumac imparts a sourness to dishes. It is often used in Middle Eastern dishes in the ways that lemon or vinegar would be used by Western cooks.

Mixed with strained yogurt, sumac makes a wonderful light sauce. Sumac can be added to marinades, salad dressings or rubbed on meats prior to grilling. Sumac is a deep red color, with a sweet aroma and a tart, lemony flavor.
