Sumac is a spice that is popular in the Middle East. It is related to the poisonous shrub by the same name, but the culinary variety is safe to use and easily identifiable by its vibrant red berries (poisonous sumac is white).

I love sumac because it will grow anywhere, but I'm still not going to ingest it.  Even the critters only eat the berries as a last resort.

I don't believe it grows native here.

Yes, the sumac that grows where I live is the red stuff. I'm pretty sure I'm safe.
