sumac, red, granules, coarse

Our Red Sumac Granules (Coarse) offer a deep, complex expression of sumac with a bright, citrus-forward expression. Sourced from the culinary heartland of Urfa, Turkey, these coarse granules are made from sun-dried Rhus coriaria berries, chopped, cured with salt, and rested for several months—a traditional method that intensifies their tangy, fruity undertones with a subtle smoky depth. The result is a richly aromatic, granulated sumac that adds texture, brightness, and savory complexity to dishes that call for a bolder, more layered flavor while retaining their structure, delivering pops of acidity, a slightly wine-like depth, and a slow-blooming aromatic finish.

Suggested Uses

Textural Finishing Salt Alternative: Sprinkle over grilled halloumi, shakshuka, or roasted eggplant for a crunchy, citrus-savory burst.

Fat-Cut for Rich Sauces: Add as a table-side finishing texture for tahini sauce, muhammara, or beurre noisette to offset richness with subtle acidity.

Mediterranean Crust on Proteins: Press the granules lightly onto lamb chops, chicken thighs, or salmon before searing for a crackling acidic crust.

Bread & Flatbread Accent: Scatter over olive-oil-brushed focaccia, manakish, or warm pita for a fragrant, tangy note and visual texture.

Pickle & Quick-Cure Enhancer: Add to pickled onions, cucumbers, or cabbage for deeper color extraction and a balanced sour-salty note.

Rice & Grain Salad Texture: Mix into farro, bulgur, couscous, or rice salads where the granules stay intact, providing bursts of brightness.

Cocktail Rim & Savory Garnish: Use on the rim of a Bloody Mary or sprinkle atop mezze boards, labneh bowls, or roasted nuts for an eloquent presentation.
