Sumac is a spice known to be as tart and tangy as lemon and is used in Turkish Cuisine a lot. Grown in southeast Türkiye, sumac is collected from dwarf trees. The leaves are dried and ground into powder. Not only is it used in Türkiye’s most famous kebab dishes, but also onion in salads, raw meatballs (Turkish version of steak tartar), fish, and Turkish ravioli. This spice is also good to facilitate digestion and balance the body’s sugar levels.
