Ziyad Green Za'atar (Zaatar) Thyme 16 oz

We appreciate that every time we receive the Ziyad Zaatar, it’s fresh and sealed tight. The quality and taste of the Zaatar is great. And just as importantly, so is the packaging. We buy when it’s on sale, making the value for the money worth it. We mix olive oil with it and spread it on a flat bread, bake with onion slivers for just a few minutes and serve as a meal or a snack with veggies and olives on the side. Delicious and healthy.

Tastes great

Love the zata'ar. Delicious! It was delivered on time. Thank you!

Unfortunately I can’t give zero stars. It says it can expose you to chemicals including lead which are known to cause cancer. Threw it right in the trash, I am not putting that in my body.

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! :-)
