Za'atar Pure Blend

Tyme Foods' Pure Blend zaatar contains 30% Za'atar herb (real biblical hyssop, or sometimes referred to as the wild thyme/wild zaatar native to the Middle East), 30% Sumac, and 30% roasted sesame seeds, and 10% unrefined Mediterranean Sea salt. It is gluten-free and contains absolutely no fillings or substitutes to the wild thyme/hyssop and sumac. The wild thyme/hyssop herb is grown from seeds of wild thyme found on the mountainous hills of Southern Lebanon and is known to produce very flavorful za'atar herb because of its high essential oil content (about 1 gram per ounce, and 4 to 40 times multiple the oil content of zaatar herbs from other Middle-Eastern regions.) The sumac is grown at the base of Mount Hermon and is pure and salt free. This is an artisan classic za'atar blend as compared to low quality commercial and common grades found elsewhere, which may contain wheat and other fillings (often unknown, like ground straw or husks) to increase volume, citric acid or other substitutes in place of the Sumac, or importantly, little or no real hyssop/wild thyme. We offer this za'atar in a relatively generous eight ounce portion because we are confident you will enjoy it beyond a seasoning or spice. Try it as a dip food by dunking fresh bread or vegetable into olive oil then the za'atar - sprinkle it on salads, soups, and sandwiches - stir it into a yogurt - knead it into dough and pastry - and experiment with its many culinary possibilities.
