Our Jordanian zaatar is nicknamed “malouki," which means “meant for a king” because it is that good!
Za’atar is the Arabic name for “wild thyme,” but it can also mean a blend of aromatic herbs (like this Za'atar mix). Its bold flavors complement any dish. Ingredients to the seasoning mix: hyssop (wild thyme), sumac, toasted sesame seeds, roasted wheat, and salt.
