Za’atar is zesty, floral, aromatic Middle Eastern spice blend with a nutty textural crunch. Usually eaten by dipping unleavened bread in olive oil and the spice, or baked onto bread as a paste, za’atar is high in antioxidants and vitamin D, making it a healthy, delicious snack.
Thyme, one of the main ingredients in this blend – and another name for za'atar in the Middle East – is given to Palestinian children before school to boost their intelligence.

My favourite by far!
Don’t be heavy handed with the cumin in the capsicum dish. But that dish and the grapefruit one complement each other.
Za’atar makes life worth living. Sprinkle it on eggs, peanut butter, any kind of meat or tomato based dish. It will have you looking forward to your next meal …. or snack.
Excellent blend of ingredients
The smells when cooking are great, but every time I cook with Za'atar it makes me feel all warm inside. It makes me want to learn some more middle eastern dishes that it should be going into, but it goes well in everything I've tried it in so far.
