Description

This Memphis BBQ spice rub is a sweet and smoky dry rub made for ribs, pulled pork, and classic low-and-slow barbecue. It uses brown sugar and smoked paprika to build rich flavor. As a result, it creates a caramelized Memphis-style dry bark with gentle, family-friendly heat.

Inspired by the heart of Tennessee BBQ, this Memphis BBQ spice rub is a true low-and-slow companion. It starts with deep brown sugar and smoked paprika for bold color and taste. Because of this, the rub forms the famous Memphis dry bark while staying savory, smoky, and easy to enjoy. Plus, the light warmth makes it approachable for all palates.
