Hi There!! Love the Video. 2 Things .. Za'atar is actually a mix of Sumac, Dried Thyme, toasted Sesame seeds and a little bit of olive oil and it is EXCELLENT as a seasoning but also as a dip or if you mix it with more olive oil to make a paste to spread on toast. The other thing is Sumac is INCREDIBLY flavorful on Roasted Chicken. Try making a spice rub with Sumac and cover some bone in, skin on chicken thighs then roast them in the oven or on the grill. You can't beat it.
Thanks for the tips! I’ll try it!
I make this every year. I use my coffee grinder to grind up fine. I also use the whole fresh berries to make sumac "lemonaid". Soak fresh berries in water for a few hours, strain through a cloth and add honey. Same properties and tastes great.
Oh that’s awesome!!! I can’t wait to try it in my cooking!!!
So, it's okay if the seeds get ground up too? I couldn't tell if Micah strained out the seeds or ground then up.
@@jdriver1419 they definitely got cracked up in it, but 99% of the seed got sifted out. I put it all in the oven to finish drying, and sifted it again through a flour sifter. I’ll be using the seasoning soon!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures okay, that makes sense, cause seeds tend to have the concentrated "poisons " in plants and trees. Like cyanide in Mahonia seeds or cherry pits. I figured sumac seeds gotta have something bad too since it's in the Rhus genus.
Hey Buddy. Following your lead on this one two. Lots of Sumac on my land. And I’ve heard for years the Native Americans use this for seasoning. I tasted it last fall and it taste like lemon. So I imagine this would be great on fish and chicken. Boy hanging with you, an old dog has no choice but to learn new tricks.😂
😂😂😂 let the good times roll!!!
Za'tar is a plant in the mint family which grows wild in the Middle-East. It is completely separate from sumac which also grows wild in the Middle-East. Za'tar is similar to thyme. Sumac is similar to lemon.
Hopefully Frank is improving and well on the way to good health.🙏🏻
As far as I know he is! He’s in Nashville so I haven’t seen him yet.
I didn’t know the American sumac was the same as the middle eastern spice. I love love love sumac - it’s got a tart, citrusy taste! It’s utterly delicious on a bowl of rice.
Mmmmmm sounds tasty!!!
doing a little homework on this: the middle eastern tree is a cousin, not the same; the north american version is slightly different; primarily: more cold-hardy, and probably a compositional differences.
they're two different genus in the same species; but close enough 'cousins' to swap out in recipes.
If you are having issues with crunchy bits left over after sifting, I recommend only a few brief pulses with your food processor instead of leaving it in for longer periods of time. This will cause the husks to get knocked off the seeds, but the seeds will still be mostly intact and will not sneak through the holes in your sifter. Maybe it has something to do with the species that you are harvesting? The ones that I have here in Ontario have fairly large smooth seeds, so after a few short pulses, the seeds are still whole and can be easily separated in the sifter and they won't make it into the final product.
Great idea! Thanks so much!
You are fabulous I’ll have to watch more of your shows. Thank you for the idea since I have this found in my woods and I’m gonna put it to some use. Adorable family.
Welcome to the channel! We’re being discovered by new people every day! It’s wonderful to see the years of hard work paying off!
They match the spice you two march the bowl 💜💙
As always thanks for all the info !
That’s very true! It’s a great spice!
Watching this while eating Manakeesh, with a thick layer of Za'atar, including Sumac :D
Very informative video! Thanks!
Greetings from Germany.
God bless you guys!
That’s awesome! God bless you too!
Nice video!! Isn't really a lot of them out there about sumac. I harvested a bunch from a local park and the malic acid was so concentrated that the berries had thick white coating on them. I used the clusters to make lemonade and since the clusters still had a ton of tart flavor to them, i cut up the clusters to leave individual branches and removed as many bugs and spiders as possible. (Yes those were in there for the lemonade, oops). Dehydrated it and used a pestle to grind the dried berries against a sturdy wire strainer. Worked great! Still enough berry on the seeds to make another batch of lemonade!!
Wow that’s awesome! It sure is a great seasoning!
“ it’s good “
❤️ it
Absolutely!
First time I ever saw it used for anything will have to give it a try thank you for sharing
It’s great stuff!
Glad you have this berry Micah.
It’s really widespread…. You might have it around!
That's pretty awesome ! I don't know if I have ever had it before unless it was in something I have eaten. I bet it will make for a great seasoning . Thanks for sharing and have a blessed day !
I’m using it today in an epic sausage video!
This video popped up in my feed today. Almost time for me to give this a try. I wonder if my grain mill will work ok for this. I use it mostly for flour, cornmeal and making powdered sugar so I'm excited to have another use for it. Thanks for the cool idea!
Good luck!!!! I’m excited about it!
Great info kind sir and family.
Our pleasure!
A spice for life thanks for sharing keep the cameras rolling from Florida
I can’t wait to use it!
Haha youre naturally funny, gonna give this a try. Thanks
Hope you enjoy!!!
Good morning my Friend. Always learn something from your show. Sounds like those Sumacs definitely have a lot of medicinal properties. Have a good day.
Yes indeed! Yet another southern remedy that doesn’t help you! I don’t know how to change this vicious cycle!😂😂😂
Gather it myself for making Sumac tea. Tallest plant I've seen in SE Nebraska is about 6 feet.
You’re right near the transition point where the trees just don’t get as tall… I like that area though!
Great information ones again 👍 Thanks for sharing 👍
You’re welcome brother!
It's a must in spinach pastry, I love it 😋
I need to try that someday!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures here’s the recipe, turn the caption on ruclips.net/video/PIZQMMhoX_Y/видео.html I add yeast to the dough and minced garlic , pomegranate molasses, half of a pomegranate to the stuffing ( you can use frozen spinach ) and it’s better to add olive oil rather than vegetable oil.
Awesome thanks!!!!!
Thanx for the herbal info. Good stuff as always.
You’re absolutely welcome!
Great video! Get a coffee grinder. You can even get a hand crank one (new one or an antique). I use a coffee grinder for my hot pepper seasonings.
Sounds perfect! Thanks!
Loved your video, first i've seen and love your fam's participatio! I use sumack as i get it from the Asian/Middle Easterb stores in my hometown. We bought a house with an unfinished lot and i want to plant only medicinal and useful landscaping. The sumack is sooo beautiful. I love making tea and broths. I use it in so much in cooking now, lol! Can't wait to tey making a lemonade out of it. I live in AZ, so have to see if the weather permits. Thanks for the post, i kearned a lot.😊
Great idea!!! Welcome to the channel! I would definitely imagine it would grow in your climate!
Yet something else i didn't know was not only edible, but medicinal as well. Sheesh. There should be a class on this.
Seems like the FDA and USDA could make themselves useful…… but nope….. they wouldn’t do that!
Thanks Micah 😊
You’re absolutely welcome Amye!
My sainted Grandmother used sumac (which she called 'shoemake') among the several ingredients in her famous home-made black-as-tar cough syrup. I'm not sure that the concoction actually affected the underlying cause for the cough, but it made you really WANT to not cough lest you might receive another tablespoon of the terrible tasting stuff. And the taste just lingered and lingered. Maybe it really did help...
😂😂😂 I’m wondering what else was in it……. Because sumac doesn’t taste bad at all!😂😂😂
Great video
Thanks Lanny!
Great video 👌
I hope it helps many people!
Sprinkle it on a fish fillet with butter and bake in the Oven. I would bet it will be good if it's got a lemon flavor.
Hey! That’s a spectacular idea! I’m gonna have to do that!!!!!
heard of making a lemonade with it before but not a seasoning
Just put a bunch in a unreal sausage!
Staghorn Sumac : I use it as Tea , Place 2 or 3 clusters per gallon of cool water and steep over night or so .. Be sure to filter through a coffee filter as each berry is covered with very fine irritating needle like hair that will irritate your throat .(looks and feels like the velvet of a stag Deer antler ) . When finished it Looks and taste exactly like Lipton Green Tea , sweeten with natural stevia if desired ..
Sounds delicious!
I've heard of sumac uses for years -- Thanks, Micah and the lads, for re-introducing the knowledge -- Mr. Frank, Hope you're "kickin' like Aunt Jenny's mule" again ! -- Trust And Obey -- Please Pray For The USA
Thanks my friend! He’s a tough ole rascal!
I JUST realized after watching this vid and then googling how to identify them, that there's TONS! Not just poison sumac. Man, public school didn't teach us anything useful!
I’m amazed just how many healing herbs are around us that we have no idea about! I’m hoping to learn more and share!
You can use a coffee bean grinder to reduce to a powder. Za’atar powder is a mix of sumac, sesame seed, and thyme or oregano. I am right back in Jerusalem whenever I smell it. Loved this video.
Thanks! I can’t wait to try this in sausage!
Some day, your lads will say - "this explains everything"
Quite interesting actually.
😂😂😂
This is interesting
Thanks Joe! It’s gonna be in some sausage soon!!
Pure dried sumac is commonly used as a seasoning in Persian food.
Yes! Delicious 😋
pretty good on chicken whit garlic
Mmmmm sounds delicious!
Have you ever used the Autumn Olive Berries to make Jam or whine? They are all across the South and Appalachains Mountains area....
Yes I have! It’s one of my favorites!!
Question: do you grind the seeds down , or just pulse to knock the "red" /outer part of the dried fruit off?
I didn't see if the seed was tossed or ground up into the mix, with fine-powder of exterior and interior seed being used & only the hard bits being tossed.
I blended the time out of it and the seeds were completely unscathed. They got sifted out, but it was a pain to be honest 😅😂
I have never heard of Sumac berries. Thanks for posting this video.
I’m surprised! I figured they grew everywhere!
This plant grows in my backyard. My mother-in-law calls it elderberry but I've been saying its poison sumac. Now I'm thinking it's the edible kind. It makes red berries.
Definitely a possibility!
👍👍
Running around the 🏡 😂
😂😂😂
is there more kinds of sumac? up here in maine we have some but the old timers always say poison sumac so ive always left it alone and just enjoyed is coloring.... we have one next to our outhouse
I’d recommend looking it up online to be sure….. but I’ve always been told if the berries are red, they’re safe!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures they are red for sure.
Staghorn sumac probably, we have loads of it in Massachusetts like this video shows.
1:15 interesting
Appreciate the info about Sumac. Let us know if it get helps you as well as tumeric, if you used it in the past.
I’m just getting started on it…….. but I’ll definitely keep you posted!
I don't know about that stuff I've had a rash from the sumac leaves I don't reckon I should be ingesting it 😁😎🐝
Me to….. it seems to be safe. But I won’t recommend that you eat it!😂
Great video! What's the name of the song at the beginning?
“Autumn” by the Dalton’s!
ruclips.net/video/XPWY4lSmZFY/видео.htmlsi=NBqj9j3TmmUXq2tn
I think you live in the land of the lost up in those mountains. I have never need a 12 foot folding ladder to harvest sumac berries 😅.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I can’t deny that!😂😂😂😂
Interesting, hope ol Frank in doing well
So far so good! Thanks brother!
👍👏👏👏
Are those the bushes that break you out like poison ivy??
I’m not 100% sure…… I’ve got it really bad on this property but I don’t think it was the stag horn sumac that got me.
Nope!
Poison sumac has white berries...
Nice! Not sure though, do folks our age need to be up all night runnin round the house? Sounds exhausting 🤣
It’s just a weekly event anymore 😂😂😂
great video I have some questions about the process
I might have answers 😂
Whoa….
Yeppers!!!😂
Any results yet?
I’ve been putting it in sausage….. tasty! Not sure if it’s helping inflammation, I don’t have any 😂😂😂
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures haha Just a waiting game
Zaatar has sumac in it but also has thyme (a strain of thyme that grows in the middle east specifically), salt , sesame seeds and sumac. That combination is extremely healthy. But sumac alone is not zaatar.
A coffee grinder
Freeze Dry Them then Break them into Powder.
Hey that’s a great thought!!
4th!
Wow you were hopping 😂😂😂
Micah
3rd
Well 3rd is an improvement on 11th 😁🤝🏻You can do better though Cc 😂
😂😂😂 I’m impressed with both!
You need a tumbler, not a blender.
Good morning how is frank doing
He’s slowly improving….. they used veins out of his leg….. so it’ll be a slow recovery I’m thinking.
I'm not sure how quickly someone recovers from that i hope frank healing is fast and minimal pain my thoughts are with him
Thanks so much! Have a good and restful night!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures thank you
Staghorn sumac are only one of many berrys that are out there for the picking.
Lots of people don't know or over look as trash.
Possum grapes and goose grapes are good but nobody hardly know what they are.
There's an app that you can download and tells and shows pictures of the plants and herbs and uses.
I also seen on another channel how to select acorns and prepare them for meal.
The Indians used them in place of meal.
Good video again as usual.
And tell the ol buzzard we're still keeping him in our hearts and prayers.
Thanks so much! If I can get him out of Nashville I’ll be in business!!!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures
We're waiting for it and would gladly pay for the whole trip.
They called today and are getting arrangements made to send him this way to a rehab facility!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures
Good deal. Reckon they're trying to get rid of him for being to frisky with the nurses.
I know know when I stayed overnight and doctor visits there were some fine specimens there. Maybe they were keeping him heart rate and blood pressure to high.
You know how us ol hounds are we can still chase the cars but can't do anything but sniff the tires when they stop. LOL
Stag horn sumac lol micah
😂😂😂 I knew it didn’t sound right 😂😂😂
Za'atar .. Ooooo.. getting EXOTIC , now ..! ... Hey Micah , I love that song "Autumn" which you also used as the soundtrack to an earlier video .. I found the complete song performed live by the group , and made a comment asking Debbie Dalton if she could post the Lyrics -----> ruclips.net/video/XPWY4lSmZFY/видео.html
Awesome! She’s a super great person!
Micah I think you're blowing smoke up my stack give me some better information
Nope, this is the best you can get!😂
What!, Ive always been told it was bad for you....something my mom would say to us when we were little and putting everything in our mouths. I guess it stuck with me all this time. I love learning new natural remedies.
This one is delicious as well! She probably got that idea because there is a poison sumac. But not this.
Ive made Sumac-ade a number of times now from my local smooth sumacs. My main issue with making use of it is that ALL of the sumac i find seems to be absolutely LOADED with spiderwebs or something, all through the clusters, of every cluster, is just loaded with web! Im hesitant to wash the sumac as ive read that it washes off that nice red coating.
Oh my! That’s a quandary! I’m not sure how to handle that!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures I'm gonna try and grow my own dang trees and let the spiders have the wild ones! Keep them web free from the start.
Waiting for you to send some up to this old bag of bones! 🦴🦴🦴
😂😂😂 sounds like you need sausage!😂😂😂
i wonder how many people died trying these? .....
Not as many as what died taking the Rona jab.
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures truth!
My family uses staghorn sumac all my life and as children we enjoyed them fresh when they had the white salty film on them good sour salties we called them
That's true @@McGieHomesteadAdventures
