What is Za Atar called in English?
Zaatar or Za'tar (zaah-tar) is a noun in the Arabic language and refers to both a Middle-Eastern herb spice mixture and also a distinct herb plant in the mint family. The herbal plant is referred to in English as bible hyssop or Syrian oregano, but the mixture is just called Zaatar.
What does Zaatar taste like?
The taste of a za'atar mixture can be tangy, herbal, nutty, or toasty. Za'atar is both a family of herbs and an herb, Thymbra spicata, with a slight minty tendency, in the marjoram/oregano family. Some are salty flavoured and quite rare, some are lemony.
