🌍 Origin & History

The Backyard BBQ Rub is designed for the home cook who wants competition-quality flavor without a competition-size ingredient list. It hits all the classic notes — sweet, smoky, savory, spicy — using everyday spices and golden allulose. This is the rub you keep in a mason jar by the grill for impromptu cookouts.

🥗 Diabetic-Friendly Pairings
