Sumac is a small deciduous shrub or tree in the cashew family that is original to Europe and Asia. Not to be confused with its more toxic cousin, poison sumac (Toxicodendron vernix), the fruits of Rhus coriaria are safe to eat and provide a tart, tangy flavor to foods when dried and ground as a spice. Sumac berry powder has been used for centuries as a food and beverage flavoring but is best known today as an ingredient in the Mediterranean seasoning za’atar. Sumac berry powder can also be used in tea blends, infused in oil for topical use, encapsulated or tinctured, or used to tint cosmetics and textiles.
