How to use za'atar

Za'atar (say it "ZAH-tar") is a Middle Eastern herb blend of dried thyme and oregano, tangy sumac, and toasted sesame seeds. It's earthy, tangy, and a little nutty — a no-salt-needed way to make simple food taste rich and interesting. Sprinkle it on; no recipe required.

Herby, tangy, and nutty, with a savory depth.

Why it's in your bag

Herb blends like za'atar pack flavor from herbs and spices instead of salt, so they're a heart-healthy way to season — big taste, no added sodium.

Ways to use it

  1. 01
    Mix with oil for dipping (easiest)

    Stir a spoonful into a little olive oil and dip pita or bread for an instant snack or starter.

  2. 02
    Sprinkle on hummus

    Dust it over a bowl of hummus with a drizzle of oil — it turns a plain scoop into something special.

  3. 03
    Season vegetables and protein

    Toss it onto vegetables before roasting, or rub it on chicken — it crisps up and adds savory, tangy flavor.

Try it on

  • Hummus and dips
  • Pita and whole-grain bread with olive oil
  • Roasted vegetables, especially eggplant
  • Chicken and fish
  • Eggs and avocado toast
  • Greek yogurt, stirred in as a savory dip
