Real Zaatar Has No Citric Acid


Recommended Posts

Bumping this thread, because I have only just tried Zaatar for the first time last week, and I'm totally addicted (are you sure it doesn't contain CRACK)?!? My problem is that I can't find a local source (still trying)--do any of you know of a good online source for it? I want the blend...

Btw, sprinkle it in Fage yogurt, drizzle a little olive oil on top, and...WOW! :wub:

Thanks, Pam and baroness! Good to know about those. Since posting, a chef pal has agreed to take me to a section of nearby Paterson where I may also find it. I'm hoping to get it in time to serve on Sunday, but if not, I'll go on line.

Therefore I have decided to make it myself. I even got fresh Zaatar, a special

Zaatar plant (Majorana syriaca) and not Thyme as many think, Authentic (relativley expensive) Sumac from the north Lebanon Border (grape looking/Red) and even grind that myself, because I even heard that most Sumac u get are mixed with something red to win on volume :angry: -- because you can only trust what you make yourself from scratch. :wub:

Cheers, Sarah
