The flavor of Israel is fresh. Apart from the traditional flavors like turmeric, cumin, paprika, thyme, za’atar, and salt, globetrotting Israelis brought different flavors from around the world back with them. Some unique dishes are a mix of the flavors from Ethiopia, Thailand, Russia, and also the native flavors of the United States. Due to this cross-pollination of flavor profiles, Israeli food has become even more epic recently.
