Seasoned rubs are great on meats and vegetables. However,
the premixed seasonings found at the grocery store often contain up to 90% salt
in order for the manufacturer to reduce production costs. You can make your own
flavorful rubs with much less sodium and more flavor.
Making your own rubs is especially helpful for people with chemical or nutritional issues. For general health, you probably want to stay away from the chemicals and toxins manufacturers put in their rubs.
