Zaatar, Authentic Palestinian, All-Natural, Middle Eastern Seasoning, Various Packaging Options Available

This is authentic Palestinian za'atar made from four ingredients: wild thyme (hyssop), roasted sesame seeds, sumac, and salt.

Za’atar is the Arabic name for the herb “wild thyme,” but also the blend of herbs and spices. The herb hyssop is also known as "Bible hyssop," Romani hyssop," and "Persian za'atar." It originated in the Middle East and has risen in popularity in the USA. For those who've relocated to the USA and miss their local zaatar, we are confident you will enjoy our authentic mix.

Its bold flavors compliment any dish. The traditional uses have been as a dip with olive oil and as a topping Manakeesh (Manaqueesh), which is the Middle East's version of a flatbread pizza.

There are hundreds of recipes on the Internet, but we'll recommend a few of our favorite uses:

- as a coating for labneh (made by straining Greek yoghurt to expel all the liquid until it's as thick as a soft cream cheese spread);
- for roasting potato wedges;
- roasting chicken;
- as a filling for crescent rolls (can even use Pillsbury (TM) version;
- on sweet potato fries;
- on popcorn;
- sprinkled on hummus;
- manaqueesh (you can find our video for making za'atar manakeesh at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkQneRc-nT0&t=22s);

In Jordan and Palestine, students eat lots of za'atar during exams as they claim it boosts their cognitive function.**

The Bedouin Company follows in the footsteps of a past generation. Our maternal grandfather was a spice trader in Palestine. In the late 1940s, he was displaced from his home and joined the Bedouins in neighboring Jordan. Back then, most of Jordan was still a desert community - even Amman - so spice trading was conducted from the back of a camel. Our grandfather would go on to establish the first spice shop in downtown Amman. He also managed to fund a very new small producer which would go on to be the best spice producer in Jordan today. After our grandfather's passing, the shop closed, but the best memories and dreams live on.
