Zaatar is a popular spice blend in the Middle East and is used especially in Arabic cooking. It is a versatile spice blend that usually contains dried thyme, sesame seeds, sumac (a tangy spice) and salt. Sometimes other spices such as oregano, coriander or cumin may also be included.

Zaatar can be used in different ways in cooking. A common use is to mix zaatar with olive oil and use it as a flavorful dip for bread or vegetables. It can also be sprinkled over salads, hummus, yoghurt or used as a flavoring in meat dishes, marinades or sauces.

Zaatar gives a unique and characteristic flavor profile to the food, with its combination of herbaceous, sour and nutty taste. It can really add an extra dimension to your dishes and contribute to the authentic taste of Arabic cooking.
