    Rhus coriaria L. (sumac) is a member of the Anacardiaceae family and has been identified with around 150 species. Rhus genus grows in different parts of the world and the only species in our country is Rhus coriaria. Ground dried stone fruits are frequently used to create a strong purple spice. Because of the sour and acidic flavor of the dried, dark red, powdered fruits of this plant, sumac is used as a seasoning in salad dressings and other dishes in Turkey. Because of its growing use in the food coloring and preservation, veterinary applications, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, and animal skin processing technology, R. coriaria has a significant economic impact.
