What matters when shipping sumac and Turkish spices

Sumac is among the lightest spices, so a parcel of it is often charged at the minimum weight, which makes combining it with other goods the cheaper choice.

Sumac and pepper flakes

Tangy sumac is sprinkled on kebabs, salads and onions, Aleppo pepper flakes are mildly hot, and isot is dark and smoky. Buy amounts you will use within months, as ground spices lose flavour over time.

Colour, sourness and grind

Good sumac is a deep red leaning to brown with a clean sour taste, while a dull one may be old or heavy with salt. A fine grind dissolves quickly into salads and a coarse one suits seasoning meat and onions, so choose by use.

Salt added to the blend

Some sumac is sold mixed with salt to help it keep, so read the label to learn the share before you adjust the salt in a recipe. Pure sumac costs a little more but gives you more control over the taste.

Light weight and smell

Sumac is very light, so one bag serves many dishes, but its sour smell can travel to other goods. Put it in a sealed bag inside a small tin and keep it away from sweets and tea in the same parcel.
