Badia Za'atar Seasoning, 4 oz

Za'atar is the defining herb blend of the Levant — wild thyme, toasted sesame seeds, sumac, and salt, ground to a coarse, fragrant mix. Tangy from the sumac, nutty from the sesame, herbal and slightly savory. It is breakfast, snack, and dinner across Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Palestine.

Common Uses

Manakish za'atar — flatbread brushed with olive oil and za'atar, baked until the edges crisp. Sprinkled over labneh with a pool of olive oil, dusted on hummus, rubbed onto chicken and lamb before roasting, tossed with roasted cauliflower or chickpeas, and stirred into yogurt dips. Mixed with olive oil as a dip for warm pita.

Cuisine Context

Central to Middle Eastern and Mediterranean home cooking, where it appears at the breakfast table alongside olives, cheese, and bread, then again at dinner as a finishing seasoning on grilled meats and roasted vegetables. Cooks reach for it whenever a dish needs brightness, herbal lift, and a tangy edge in one step.

Pro Tip

Mix three parts za'atar with one part good olive oil to make a spreadable paste — brush it on flatbread before baking, or use it as a marinade for chicken thighs before grilling.
