Ingredients: Sumac, sesame seeds, thyme, marjoram, oregano, & sesame oil. Salt Free A wonderfully tangy, herby and easy to use Middle Eastern spice blend. The sumac we use comes by Iran. Sumac is a small flowering tree native to Iran that grows wild in Western Asia, the Arabian peninsula, and most of the Mediterranean.
