What is the difference between a rub and seasoning?
A rub is spice blend that is used to season meat before it is cooked. They add a delicious flavour and texture to your meat. Simply sprinkle the rub on your meat or veggies and massage in for ultimate flavour absorption before cooking.
On the other hand, seasoning is a combination of salt, pepper, and herbs that is used before and/or after cooking to enhance the natural flavour of the meat.

Why is dry rub a better way to cook BBQ than sauced?
Dry rubs are better to cook with than sauces as they contain less sugar than cooking with sauces alone and the meat can absorb the flavour of the rub much easier, allowing for a fuller, deeper flavour in your barbecue delights. Save the sauce for drizzling on top!
