'''Za'atar''', also '''zaatar''', '''zahatar''', is a mix of herbs and spices popular in the [[Cookbook:Middle Eastern cuisines|Middle East]]. It was traditionally made from ''Syrian hyssop'' (also ''Syrian oregano'', ''white oregano''), but due to overharvesting, it is usually made from more common ingredients today.
 
 
 
''Green za'atar'' is made from [[Cookbook:Oregano|wild oregano]], [[Cookbook:Sesame Seed|sesame seeds]] and [[Cookbook:Salt|salt]], and may also have [[Cookbook:Savory|savory]], [[Cookbook:Hyssop|hyssop]], [[Cookbook:Thyme|thyme]], [[Cookbook:Cumin|cumin]] or [[Cookbook:Fennel|fennel seed]].
