County Crimson Sumac
$5.00
Ground Sumac doesn’t have a strong fragrance. The flavor is powered by malic acid, so it tastes like green apples or rhubarb with a bit of berry sweetness.
Ground Sumac comes from the Mediterranean red sumac. It provides a vibrant red color and a straightforward, lemony flavor to dishes. Sumac contains 4% tannins by weight and pronounced acidity which comes mainly from malic acid. Ground Sumac has a pH ranges between 2.5-3.5, which means their acidity lies between orange juice and tomato juice. Ground Sumac is processed with salt to prevent fermentation from occurring; it contains less than 6% salt by weight.
There are two different types of sumac, white and red. Culinary sumac is red and all varieties of red sumac are perfectly edible. The second type of sumac produces a white berry and is exclusive to North America. The leaves and white berries of the North American sumac are poisonous and should not be touched or consumed under any circumstances.
Ground Sumac is popular with our Middle Eastern restaurants, Mediterranean restaurants, and independent spice store customers.
