Staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina). It's was a rare find, never thought I'd see this spice in the U.S.  the Asians and Middle-Easterners used dried ground Staghorn Sumac as a sour agent for food flavoring and a color enhancement. These berries have a mild citrus flavor that is not overpowering. As a table condiment, it is used as one woul with salt & pepper shaker. It is used to add a tangy taste as needed.  And it is high in vitamins A, C, and antioxidants Staghorn Sumac grows wild in the southern parts of U.S. in wooded area,  in the dig along roadside.
