What's a Rub?
In the world of barbecuing and grilling, (and in the kitchen) a rub is the blend of herbs, spices, sugars, salts and peppers that, when applied to a food's exterior and cooked, create that marvelous outer crust barbecue is famous for. A rub is an integral part of the entire cook, as it is the lead impression when you take that first bite of food. It can impart intense heat, mellow sweetness, lip-smacking saltiness or a 'What is that wonderful flavor?' uniqueness...sometimes all of these sensations coming from a single rub!

The Dizzy Pig Barbecue Company has developed a variety of rubs to complement the various meats and veggies that may grace your cooker or grill. Take a look at our growing line-up; we're confident you'll find a taste to take your next cook to dizzying new heights! Dizzy Pig rubs are not just for BBQ. Shake it on as a condiment, or use as a "complete" seasoning in the kitchen for sautes, stir fries and more.

Why is Dizzy Pig better?
First thing you notice when you open a jar of Dizzy Pig rub is the fresh aroma. The whole spices and herbs we use are purchased in small quantities to assure freshness, and ground just before bottling. Our recipes are exciting and all of the rubs have their own unique flavor. Not the same rub with slightly different twist, but totally different concoctions so you can find your favorites for each meal.

In addition to fresh ingredients and awesome recipes, Dizzy Pig rubs use superior all natural ingredients and no additives. No MSG. No anti caking agents. Gluten-free. Instead of highly processed white and brown sugars which can burn and become bitter, raw unprocessed "turbinado" sugar has a better flavor and a higher burning point. Yep, it's more expensive, but we feel it is worth it. Only coarse flake kosher salt is used in Dizzy Pig rubs. No iodine, and the flakes have a larger surface area to help build a luscious crust.

And it's not just us that think Dizzy Pig makes the best rubs on the market. Thousand of customers have ordered rubs here, or purchased them in one of the dozen or so stores that carry our products now, and it is amazing how many come back for more. Some are winning contests with the rubs, and some are simply winning over their family and guests at the dinner table.
