This vibrant green za’atar was carefully selected from the bustling spice souks of Amman, where nearly 80% of the population is Palestinian and the tradition of za’atar runs deep. In these souks, families proudly offer their own generations-old blends—each one telling a story. I handpicked this mix for its fresh, bright green color, and its bold, balanced flavor, already blended with traditional sumac—a tangy, citrusy berry powder often compared to dried cranberries.
What many don’t know is that in occupied Palestine, foraging wild za’atar has been criminalized. For Palestinians, za’atar is more than a spice—it’s a symbol of connection to the land, memory, and resistance. By sharing this food and its story, we keep that heritage alive and help spread awareness of a struggle often hidden from view.
Perfect for:
Sprinkling over salads, eggs, or labneh
Adding depth to soups and stews
Baking into flatbreads or manousheh
Or simply dipping in olive oil with fresh bread
A spoonful of this za’atar brings the soul of Palestine to your table—earthy, zesty, and grounded in tradition, resistance, and love.
