Za’atar is a fragrant Palestinian herb blend made from dried wild thyme, sumac, and toasted sesame seeds, often mixed with olive oil and eaten as a dip or spread. Its origins are deeply rooted in rural Palestine, especially in the West Bank, where families still harvest and dry thyme by hand. Za’atar is used both as a table staple and a seasoning for various baked goods and snacks. The pairing of za’atar and olive oil with taboon bread is considered a simple, symbolic breakfast throughout the region.
