History & Culture

The Story Behind the Dish

📍 Northern Lebanon and Syria📅 Centuries old🥗 LB

Fattoush was a way for farmers to use up stale bread. Old flatbread was toasted or fried, broken into pieces and mixed with whatever vegetables and herbs were growing in the garden.

The name comes from the Arabic word fatt, meaning 'crushed' or 'broken into pieces'. It belongs to a whole family of Levantine dishes, called fattat, built on broken bread.

⭐ Why It's Famous

Sumac gives it a lemony red color and tangy taste, and the crunchy bread makes every bite exciting.

💡 Fun Fact

During Ramadan, fattoush is one of the most common dishes on the table when people break their fast at sunset.
