Ziyad Premium Green Za'atar Spice Blend, Flavorful Spices, No Additives, No MSG, 16 oz

Fresh spice blend. Incredible amount for the price. At this value for money, I can use this za'atar with abandon. Fresh green thyme, sesame seeds, again, fresh... delicious blend... happy i found this product

This Zaatar is always delicious! We love to sprinkle it on pita bread with olive oil before toasting it in the oven. We love the taste of traditional manaqish!

I loved this sumac and I found it tastier than other brands.

Very good. Authentic

Upon opening the bag there was the reek of stale sesame seeds. The seeds were not toasted and were so few and so tiny it'd be a wonder if you could have even tasted them. As for the rest? Tasteless, no aroma of herbs at all. It's like fine ground green hay with an unpleasant. tangy aftertaste. And its not elegable for return, replacement, or your money back. Won't make this mistake again.

I'd heard about this on triple D and a few other places, and thought, "Well, if they're ranting THIS MUCH, it must be GREAT." Nah.Used it on chicken TWICE (the reviews I'd read slobbered all over how good it was supposed to be with chicken), and it SUCKED. Not that it was nauseating, it just had no flavor at all. We have a pretty broad palate--like all kinds of foods--but this had no real flavor profile at all. I've read it described as 'lemony', etc.: don't you believe it. I loaded the food up with lemon and this stuff, and it pretty much...just lay there.Frankly: we grew up poor and couldn't afford too many spices or extras, and my mom's roast chicken with JUST salt, pepper and butter rocked WAAAAAAAAY more than this. Save your money is my instinct. I still plan to try it mixed with some other herbs, so I'll update, and hopefully find a recipe or two that is worth the investment.The company DOES give you a LOT for your money, in the way of sheer amount of the spice that they send you. I'd be very open to anyone here who wanted to send me recipes or ways to use it that might change my initial impression. So look out for future updates.UPDATE: OK, I'm finally getting around to updating this, now that I've had time to try some of the suggestions of the kind commenters below. I like it pretty well now that I've tried it mixed with a few other herbs and especially on flat bread. It's killer with flat bread dipped in fresh garlic lightly saute'd in butter, then mixed with the sumac and some Mexican oregano (try it: you'll never use any other kind of oregano again--I used to HATE oregano, now I use the Mex. kind all the time). So I've upgraded to a four star on my review. Once you know how to use a spice, it makes all the difference. Just don't follow the recipe on the bag...And thanks to everyone below who took the time to leave me so much info. I'm still working my way through the suggestions! Happy holidays to you all as well! :-)

Brings back many memories of sharing meals with friends. A delicious taste and good on most anything. Highly recommend.

If you haven't started using Sumac when you're cooking give it a try.
