Hayati's Green Zaatar is made of sesame seeds, thyme, olive oil, sumac, and sea salt.

Zaatar tastes like an Arab everything bagel seasoning: herby, nutty, and a little lemony.

Zaatar is best with bread and olive oil either as a dip or baked on bread. It's also great for breakfast on eggs or with dinner on chicken, salmon, veggies, and salads.

Za'atar is a spice blend with deep roots across the Levant—Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, where families have made their own versions for generations. Hayati's is a Palestinian za'atar: thyme grown in Jenin, blended fresh by a family mill, and a brand owned and operated by Palestinians.

Every region makes za'atar a little differently, and Hayati's is a classic Palestinian-style blend: herb-forward and earthy, built on thyme rather than heavy on tang. It's just five ingredients (thyme from Jenin, toasted sesame, sumac, Dead Sea salt, and olive oil), with no wheat, no artificial ingredients, and no shortcuts—the way it's been made in Palestinian homes for generations.

I wanted to create the best green zaatar on the market—and I believe I did. Most green zaatar blends cut corners: they bulk it up with wheat to make it cheaper and fluffier, and use citric acid instead of real sumac for that lemony flavor.

Hayati’s zaatar contains no wheat, just thyme from Palestine. The tanginess comes from real, finely ground sumac—never citric acid. I use sea salt instead of iodized salt, and olive oil instead of canola or seed oils.

Every ingredient was chosen for flavor and quality. We're showing off the beauty of the Arab world, after all.

No wheat added, but processed in a facility that handles wheat. We would not recommend Hayati zaatar if you have a severe wheat allergy.

Our zaatar isn’t certified organic—not because it isn’t grown naturally, but because certification in the Middle East is extremely expensive and often unnecessary. Our farmers in Palestine and Jordan use traditional methods passed down for generations—no pesticides, no chemicals. Organic foods are incredibly necessary in the US because of heavy pesticide use (i.e. glyphosate) in large-scale farming—I get it, all my food made in america is organic, but my zaatar isn't grown that way. I specifically chose this family because I loved their farming practices. And, to ensure it's the highest quality, we lab test every batch. 

So while it's not certified organic, it's grown organically—maybe one day we’ll help out our farmers with the certification! 

Za’atar is best stored in an airtight container in a dark, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight. Basically, keep her in her tin box.

You will experience the best of the zaatar within two years of us mixing it. You will see that date on the bottom of the tin. That's not to say that the spice goes bad after two years, it's just best within the two year range.

Prop 65 is a California law that requires businesses to warn consumers about potential exposure to over 900 chemicals, including lead, even when present in trace amounts. Prop 65 limits for lead are significantly stricter than federal and international food safety standards—sometimes by a factor of 1,000. Because plants absorb minerals from the soil as they grow, herbs and spices, like many other foods (chocolate, leafy greens, seafood), may naturally contain trace levels of heavy metals.

Our za’atar is tested to meet or exceed FDA and international safety standards, and the presence of naturally occurring trace elements does not mean the product is unsafe. However, since Prop 65 applies only to California, we are required to include this warning:

⚠ WARNING: Consuming this product can expose you to lead, which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/food.

Our za’atar is made with high-quality ingredients and meets FDA food safety regulations, just like any other packaged food. However, the FDA doesn’t review individual products unless they make specific health claims.

Disclaimer: These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. We assume no liability for any inaccuracies or misstatements.

Please! Reduce, reuse, recycle. Aluminum is the #1 most recycled material in the world. We chose tin because: 

• It can be recycled infinitely without losing its properties, 
• It can be reused in your home for other goodies, 
• It extends the shelf life of the spice, and 
• Of Yasmine’s connection to drinking loose leaf tea her whole life from tin boxes.

We’d love to see how you use the tin box after you’ve finished the za’atar – send us photos to our email hello@hayatigoods.com or tag us on Instagram.

That’s the goal!
