Export regions

Sumac is traded here as dried red fruits, whole or ground, valued for their sour flavour. This is a seasoning rather than the leaves sold separately to tanners.

The fruit grows in clusters on the shrub and is harvested and dried for keeping. Cooks use it to bring acidity to food. Identifying the part of the plant matters at the trading post: goods sold under the same plant name may be intended for entirely different uses.
