sumac
When referring to the plant, the term describes a woody shrub known for its distinctive red berries and foliage. In this botanical sense, it is treated as a countable noun when discussing different species or individual plants.
When used in a culinary context, the word refers to the ground spice. In this capacity, it functions as an uncountable mass noun, similar to "salt" or "pepper," and is typically measured by volume or weight rather than by individual units.
