Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Sumac
Metabolic Effect: Sumac, thanks to its antioxidant properties, protects the body against free radicals and supports the immune system. It can also aid digestion due to the tannins it contains, providing a mild astringent effect.
Consumption Recommendation: Sumac can be added to dishes as a spice or used in salads. When consumed mixed with yogurt, it both enhances its flavor and supports gut health by combining with probiotics.
Things to Consider: Excessive consumption may cause stomach discomfort. Especially those with sensitive constitutions should be careful. Consuming 1-2 teaspoons a day is usually sufficient.
Exercise Equivalent: Consuming 1 dessert spoon of sumac causes you to take in about 10 calories. To burn these calories, it is enough to do about 3 minutes of light-paced walking.
