Hibiscus Za'atar
Hibiscus Za'atar
Za'atar has always been more than an herb blend — it’s a story of land, culture, and connection. Rooted in the Levant, it’s found on kitchen tables from Palestine to Lebanon and beyond, each version carrying its own history, identity, and love for the land.
Today, za'atar has crossed borders and continents, appearing in home kitchens and restaurants around the world. To me, that mirrors the world we live in — one shaped by migration, memory, and shared ingredients. Food has a quiet way of holding both tradition and evolution at once.
Za'atar is both the name of an herb and a seasoning. For Palestinians in particular, za'atar is more than food; because of this, it’s an act of identity and resistance. The wild thyme (or hyssop) grows in the same hills where families have lived for generations. Harvesting or selling it has, at times, been restricted — turning something as humble as an herb into a political symbol.
This is my own twist on the traditional Levantine blend. Now, I never travel without a good bottle of olive oil, a tin of Hibiscus Za'atar, and the hope of stumbling upon some freshly baked bread. And if you’ve watched Mo on Netflix, you’ll understand why that’s a perfectly reasonable way to live.

Ikeuchi Finishing Seasonings — Frequently Asked Questions
What are finishing seasonings?
Finishing seasonings are blends crafted to be added at the end of cooking. A sprinkle right before serving unlocks aroma, vibrant flavor, and a chef-level "wow" factor—no complicated steps required.
How do Ikeuchi blends transform one dish into many?
Each blend has its own personality. Add one to your dish, and you get a new flavor story. Add another, and suddenly you’ve created something entirely different. One recipe → three dishes → endless possibilities. It’s culinary magic in a pinch.
When should I use finishing seasonings?
Right before serving. A pinch on plated food brightens flavor, adds texture, and gives your dish a polished, restaurant-worthy finish.
Can I cook with the blends too?
Absolutely, but we recommend using them as the finishing touch to your hard work!
What foods do they pair best with?
Honestly? Nearly everything. Veggies, grains, proteins, eggs, noodles, soups, pizza, salads—and especially leftovers. Our blends are built to be versatile, playful, and weeknight-friendly.
Are the blends spicy?
Most are warm and flavorful, not hot. Aleppo has a gentle glow, Pink Pepper brings floral brightness, and nothing is designed to overwhelm heat-sensitive palates.
Are the seasonings gluten-free or vegan?
Yes. All Ikeuchi blends are naturally gluten-free and plant-based. (And delicious.)
Are your ingredients ethically sourced?
We partner with trusted suppliers who prioritize quality, transparency, and responsible production. Flavor starts at the source—and we honor that.
How long do they last?
Stored in a cool, dry spot, your blends will stay vibrant for 12–18 months. (Though most customers finish them way sooner.)
Where can I buy Ikeuchi seasonings?
Exclusively on our website and a curated selection of specialty retailers. (And always fresh and small-batch.)
How should I store the blends?
Keep them away from heat, steam, and direct sunlight. Treat them like the little gems they are.
Can I use them to elevate leftovers?
YES—that’s the magic. Yesterday’s takeout, roasted veggies, or meat becomes a whole new dish with a single sprinkle.
Where can I get recipe or dish ideas?
