Information
Aloha BBQ Rub - A Taste Journey to the Pacific
Forget everything you think you know about generic "Hawaii spice". This is a modern, exotic, and flavorful rub designed to give your BBQ a new dimension. With a perfect balance between sweet, spicy, and aromatic (think ginger, turmeric, and paprika), this is the spice that transforms a boring pork chop into a tropical feast. The sugar content in the blend ensures the meat gets a beautiful, caramelized crust (glaze) when it hits the heat.

FAQ
Does it contain pineapple?
The name "Hawaii" (as it was formerly called) refers more to the flavor profile that pairs well with pineapple and pork (sweet and tangy), rather than necessarily containing dried fruit. The blend is dominated by paprika, ginger, and exotic spices.
Is it spicy hot?
It has a little "kick" from ginger and pepper, but it is primarily a mild, aromatic, and sweet blend suitable for the whole family.
Can it be used in sauce?
Yes! Stir it into crème fraîche or sour cream for a fantastic cold sauce for BBQ, or use it to season a cream sauce for chicken.
