This Lebanese variety is a spicy, hearty, thyme-like plant with thin leaves and purple flowers. Its strong flavor makes it great for drying, pickling, or curing in olive oil. Za'atar is also used in the spice mixture of the same name, also including sesame seeds, dried sumac, salt, and other spices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHannah Goldberg shared this variety with New Roots Community Farm in the Bronx, NY so that they could grow it for her \"Refugee Powered Food and Events\" at Tanabel, a food and events company.
