Sumac

[darrylfoster]

Has anyone found a place in PK area to buy Sumac - that used in Middle Eastern foods?

Zaatar? Should be in one of them funky stores on Hämeentie or then Itäkeskus.

[darrylfoster]

yes/no - Za'atar is a mixture that contains sumac.

Well, there are recipes in Finnish having "sumakki" so it should be available... maybe not in K-market necessarily...

Hakaniemen halli. At least there used to be a spice shop that sold sumac. I don´t know if it is still there.

I was just going to suggest the same. I've never bought (or seen) sumakki myself but that could be because I haven't looked... the spice shop has ras el hanout and all such so it could be a good idea to ask. If you enter the Hakaniemi halls on the Hämeentie side, the spice shop is right there on the left when you step in IIRC.

Usually that method guides me to the cheese shops and/or the salamis & prosciutto at Roiniset...
