Za’atar Spice Mix
• Toast sesame seeds before mixing for deeper nutty flavor. • Adjust sumac for more or less tang depending on preference. • Store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months. Health Benefits: This spice blend adds bold flavor without added sugar or saturated fat, supporting overall diet quality and helping reduce reliance on heavy sauces or salt. Herbs and spices like thyme, oregano, and cumin contain antioxidant compounds that may support inflammation balance and metabolic health. Sumac contributes polyphenols with potential anti-inflammatory effects, while sesame seeds provide small amounts of healthy fats, minerals, and plant lignans that support heart health and dietary variety in plant-based eating patterns.
