You mix the dried and powdered herb with various other
ingredients–garlic, salt, olive oil, crushed sumac seeds, etc and use it on
bread. It is quite delicious and habit
forming in a good way. Zaatar is one of the sources of the antiseptic essential
oil known as carvacrol, which (along with other terpenoids such as thymol)
inhibits several kinds of nasty bacteria (e.g. Pseudomonas aeruginosa) by
eroding the bacterial cell wall. Plant prefers full sun and sandy,
fast-draining soil. This seed makes an abundant crop of leaves in the first
growing season. Make sure to harvest in
the first year of growth as the overwintering of this plant is never a sure
thing.
