Why Zaatar? By blending thyme, sesame, sumac and other spices, our Zaatar elevates the flavors of a wide variety of food including grilled meats, cheeses, salads, sandwiches, eggs, baked goods, and more. The flavor profile is herbaceous, zesty and nutty. It also provides a healthy alternative to condiments, dressings, sauces and marinades that often contain large amounts of sugar or sodium.
