Za'atar, a beloved Middle Eastern spice blend, holds a special place in culinary traditions across the region. While there are many variations, three prominent blends—Lebanese, Jordanian, and Palestinian—each offer a unique flavor profile and cultural significance.

  3. Palestinian (Special) Blend is renowned for its bold and aromatic profile, showcasing a harmonious balance of flavors. It typically consists of dried thyme, sumac, sesame seeds, and sometimes salt.

While each blend of Za'atar offers its own unique taste and cultural heritage, they all share a common thread of enriching dishes with their aromatic blend of herbs and spices.
