Turkish Sumac, Ottoman Spice Blend & Vegetable Seasoning Set (3 Spices)

A three-jar set of authentic Turkish seasonings from Tuğba Kuruyemiş, one of Turkey's best-known spice and nut houses. It brings together three pantry staples that sit at the heart of Turkish and wider Mediterranean cooking — ground sumac, an Ottoman-style mixed spice blend, and a vegetable bouillon-style seasoning — so you can build deep, layered flavour from a single box.

1. Turkish Sumac (Sumak) — 162 g. Single-ingredient ground sumac milled from the dried berries of the Rhus coriaria shrub. It has a deep burgundy colour and a bright, lemony tang, with no salt or additives. Sumac is the classic finishing touch on fattoush, grilled meats, kebabs, hummus, rice, roasted vegetables and labneh — anywhere you want sourness without reaching for a wedge of lemon.

2. Ottoman Spice Blend (Osmanlı Baharatı) — 160 g. A warm, aromatic all-purpose mix. Ingredients (per the producer): red chilli pepper (pul biber), cumin, sumac, coriander, black pepper, marjoram and salt. It is a flexible everyday seasoning for soups, savoury börek pastry, vegetable dishes, minced-meat köfte, marinades and grilled food.

3. Vegetable Seasoning (Sebzeli Çeşni) — 300 g. A vegetable-based stock seasoning — a natural alternative to Maggi-style stock cubes and bouillon powder — that adds a savoury, well-rounded base to soups, stews, rice, sauces and pasta water. Use it in place of, or alongside, a stock cube.

How to use: sprinkle sumac over finished dishes; cook the Ottoman blend into the dish early so the spices bloom; stir the vegetable seasoning into liquids as they simmer. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste.

Storage: keep tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Product of Turkey.

Allergen note: the vegetable seasoning may contain celery and gluten. Always check the on-pack label before use if you have allergies or follow a gluten-free diet.
