Urban Platter Zaatar Powder, 500g | Middle Eastern Spice Blend | Herby, Tangy and Nutty | Use as a dry rub or sprinkler | Imported from Turkey
Za’atar Powder is a blend of Thyme, Marjoram, Sumac, Oregano, Sesame and Salt. In the Levant(Eastern Mediterranean), there is a belief that za’atar makes the mind alert and the body strong. Za’atar is used as a seasoning for meats and vegetables or sprinkled onto hummus. It is also eaten with labneh (yogurt drained to make a tangy, creamy cheese), bread and olive oil for breakfast, most commonly in Jordan, Palestine, Israel, Syria, and Lebanon, as well as other places in the Arab world. The Lebanese specialty shanklish, dry-cured balls of labneh, can be rolled in za’atar to form its outer coating.

Brand value of Lebanese herbals believed to be of immense benefits for health
I don‘t know if it‘s close to the original or not, but it tasted really yummy. I‘d love to order a second bottle if available!
Good Flavours
There are two kinds of folks who will buy an exotic gourmet pantry. Primarily those who are well-traveled. Jetsetters who have been to many places and have had the real taste of local delicacies. They know what is true stuff. Laters are like me, never been to places but want to try any food-related exp worth pursuing. Serves the purpose for that. Good quality. Whether it‘s true to the real stuff, can‘t say. About Za‘atar- it‘s spice mix, so from region to region, it changes. For my liking, I do mix extra heaps of sumac in this and extra virgin olive oil. Goes well with roti, naan, and other loaves of bread.
