This rub is suitable for a variety of proteins and plant-based options.
How people cook with it
This rub is ideal for adding a robust flavor to foods cooked over an open flame or in the oven.
- Seasoning ribs before grilling
- Rubbing onto chicken breasts
- Sprinkling over grilled vegetables
- Adding to burger patties
Apply the rub generously to your chosen food item. For best results, coat all sides evenly. You can apply it just before cooking or allow it to sit for a period to let the flavors meld. It works well on a variety of meats like pork, beef, and chicken, as well as firm vegetables such as zucchini, bell peppers, and corn on the cob. For a deeper flavor, consider applying it an hour or more in advance.
How it differs from similar foods
This rub distinguishes itself with its organic certification, ensuring that all spice components are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Its specific blend offers a balanced savory and smoky taste profile that is distinct from simpler salt and pepper combinations or rubs with a dominant heat component.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the unused portion in its original container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture from entering and clumping the spices. This will help preserve the aromatic qualities and flavor intensity.
