    A spice shop in the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City. Za'atar, an herb mix ubiquitous in the region's cuisine, once grew wild all over what's now in the West Bank. A 1977 Israeli law criminalized the harvesting of the herb. Israelis say it protects an endangered plant species. Palestinians say it's another way to erase their identity and limit their ability to cook their traditional dishes. Image by Carly Graf. West Bank, 2019.

  • Hummus, pictured here, is more than just a snack. It's considered "worker's food." Historically, it was used to feed those with manual labor jobs who needed a filling breakfast that would get them through an exhausting work day. Today, many hummus establishments continue to exclusively serve the blended mix of tahini, chickpea, olive oil and lemon juice—opening early in the morning and closing once they run out.
