OVERVIEW:

Sumac comes from the lovely, purple berries of a wild bush that is indigenous to the Middle East and is a member of the cashew family. It has a tart flavor that is reminiscent of vinegar or lemon and is used to

boost the flavor and color of dishes. Its sourness and astringency is typically a key flavor component in the Za’atar blend and an essential ingredient in Arabic cooking. Similar to salt, sumac brings out the flavor in a variety of foods. It's used with marinades, dressings, salads, meats, rice dishes, vegetables and is used as a condiment. Don't have a fresh lemon, try substituting with sumac powder.

Sumac is an antioxidant powerhouse and has 66 times more antioxidants than blueberries. Its numerous health benefits include anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and diuretic properties. Sumac's health benefits may include decreased cholesterol levels, lower blood sugar, reduced bone loss and relief from muscle pain.

Tisanes (pronounced tea-zahn) are usually categorized by what part of the plant they come from. They generally fall into one of these four categories:

Plant and leaf based tisanes: lemon balm, mint, lemongrass, lemon verbena, raspberry leaf, and peppermint

Flower tisanes: rose, chamomile, hibiscus, lavender, rosehip, and jasmine

Root, bark and seed based tisanes: cinnamon, dandelion root (chicory), echinacea, ginger, cardamom, caraway, and fennel

Fruit/berry tisane: raspberry, blueberry, peach, lemon, and apple

Tisanes are also called herbal teas, botanicals, or infusions and they are a major part of the tea world but are not technically teas. It is actually an infusion or decoction made from a plant other than Camellia sinensis which is the plant from which true teas (green tea, black tea, oolong, etc.) are made. Tisanes are caffeine free.
Store herbs and spices in tightly capped containers and keep away from heat, moisture and direct sunlight. Here are the suggested shelf lives of each spice category:

Ground spices and blends (nutmeg, cinnamon, turmeric): 4 to 8 months

Herbs (basil, oregano, parsley): 1 to 2 years

Whole spices (cloves, peppercorns, cinnamon sticks): 4 years

Seeds: 4 years (except for poppy and sesame seeds, which should be discarded after 2 years)

Extracts: 4 years (except for vanilla, which will last forever)
