More about Zaatar and Zataar
Yes, Zaatar is also the name for a tasty combination of spices and herbs, and sometimes sesame that is wonderful sprinkled on almost everything. It is a Middle Eastern joy which transcends political boundaries. In addition to the obvious ethnic stores which have not migrated to the Ozarks yet, the spice mixture can often be found in ethnic sections of larger, enlightened markets. Below is product information from the source of my Zaatar plant. Yes, I spelled it differently, as do many others. I’m glad that I was asked to look it up, as I had forgotten its hardiness level. I’m glad that it was safe and comfy in the greenhouse even when it went down to 30 degrees. The source is Richters in Canada. They stock a wonderful supply of medicinal and culinary herbs. Their catalogue is great in that they do not shy away from listing the actual medicinal uses, not just as “folklore” or “hearsay” either. They can be found at richters dot com. Here’s the link to the page. The content is below that. |
