Organic and Wild-crafted Spice Rubs

Dads may not log as much time in the kitchen as Moms do (although we’re all for equal-opportunity cooks!), but when it comes to grilling and roasting, they are often the kings. Help Dad spice up the meat, veggies, and tofu with some of the offerings from Abe’s Market, an online superstore of natural products. We were intrigued by Pollen Ranch’s Little Devil rub, which mixes spices common to barbeque, Cajun, and creole cuisine. California-based Pollen Ranch hand collects the wild fennel pollen that forms the base of the spice mix (which also includes pasilla and cayenne peppers). Or spice things up with Napa Farmhouse 1885’s farmhouse organic rub, made from all organic ingredients such as organic chili powder, oregano, onion, and garlic. Napa Farmhouse 1885 handcrafts each batch in small quantities, which means its products get a little extra TLC and are fresher for you.
