Za’atar is more than a spice — it’s a cultural icon, a natural medicine, and a productivity secret hiding in plain sight.

In Arabic, “za’atar” actually refers to wild thyme, a potent herb that grows naturally in the hills of Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. What we call za’atar in the U.S. is often a spice blend made from thyme (or oregano), toasted sesame seeds, sumac, and salt. But in its native form, za’atar is a specific plant — floral, earthy, and medicinal — known throughout the Levant for its healing and brain-boosting properties.

Historically, za’atar was eaten by scholars to enhance mental clarity, sharpen memory, and sustain energy during long hours of study. Today, it’s the perfect companion for modern-day entrepreneurs, creatives, and leaders who need to stay focused and energized without burning out.

🌿 Health benefits include:
Improved memory and mood
Antioxidant + anti-inflammatory support
Calmer digestion = calmer mind

Sprinkle it over hummus, avocado toast, eggs, or roasted veggies. Mix it with olive oil for a quick dip or sandwich spread. Make sure to add salt to bring the flavors to life; most spice blends do not include salt. For a 🧠 Za’atar Brain-Boost Dip recipe, please email me @acosta.oralia@gmail.com.

When your brain is firing and your gut is calm, you lead with more presence, creativity, and resilience. Za’atar is food that feeds your focus — and your future.
