About Terranean
As a Lebanese-American, I grew up enjoying authentic Lebanese za’atar when I visited my parents’ village every summer. I looked forward to the earthy, herbal, savory and uniquely delicious flavor of freshly baked za’atar manoushe (flatbread) every morning.
Like many other Middle Easterners, my family and I would fill our suitcases with za’atar every trip back home, for ourselves and for friends who couldn’t make it abroad that year. Our clothing would smell like za’atar for weeks!
What is Authenticity?
"What is Authenticity?" Our answer is simple: Authenticity is a reflection of your unique perspective, shaped by your personal experiences. As a Lebanese American with deep roots in Lebanon and a long history of annual visits, I have come to cherish a particular truth - the authenticity of za'atar. It's the very blend we would carefully pack in our suitcases during our trips, and the exact flavor I lovingly prepare for my own family, including our three kids, and for our honored guests. It's this genuine connection to the roots of this aromatic spice that I want to share with you, offering an unforgettable taste of Lebanon's rich heritage. Join us on a journey of flavors and experiences that speak to the heart of authenticity, one bite at a time.
Diversity & Inclusion
Proudly WBENC Certified Women-Owned!
I import my za’atar from a woman co-owned and co-operated business, allowing me to work with women in Cleveland where my products are made, as well as in Lebanon. By growing my business here, I am able to provide business opportunities for Lebanon.
Healthy
Our za'atar blend contains za'atar, sumac, sesame seeds, and a little salt!
Za'atar is packed with thymol (an essential oil), abundant in caravacrol (a phenol), rich in flavonoid, polyphenols, and thymol- all of which have anti-inflammatory properties. It is a good source of vitamins C (works as an antioxidant) & K and mineral iron.
Sesame seeds can fight oxidative stress, reduce blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and are s source of protein and iron (Berkeley Wellness "Sesame: Little Seeds, Big Benefits")
Sumac is a superfood, full of flavonoids and an antioxidant powerhouse!
