Vegan Rubs

No animals, no compromise, all crust.

A vegan rub means exactly what it says on the tin — not a single animal-derived ingredient in the blend, no hidden dairy powder, no meat extract snuck in for a browning boost the way some commercial rubs use. Every rub in this range is checked against that standard before it earns the tag, not just assumed from a "may be suitable" line.

These are built to work exactly like a meat rub does — rubbed on hard, left to sit, then thrown onto a screaming-hot grill or cast iron. It just happens to be mushrooms, cauliflower, jackfruit, tofu or tempeh under the crust instead of a brisket, and the same caramelised edge turns up either way.

Start with Black Market Spice Merchants' Alabama Jama for a proper barbecue crust, Coast N Smoke's The 13th Apostle for a herb-forward Mediterranean lean on lamb-style veg, or Atomic Chicken's Charcoal Chicken Seasoning Rub for that smoky roast-chicken flavour on a cauliflower steak instead.

A good chunk of the range is also gluten free or Low FODMAP — a genuinely clean spice blend tends to clear more than one dietary bar at once, not because we went chasing extra labels to stack on the packet. Whatever's on the grill, a vegan rub's job is the same as any other: build flavour, build crust, no exceptions made for the ingredient underneath. No animals, no compromise, all crust.
