Nourish Yourself

Nourish yourself like you actually like yourself

Let's be honest — most of us take care of our cars or yards or dogs better than our bodies. 

Processed food is everywhere. And yes our sauces are processed because they have to be, duh. I'm going to point out that we still use ZERO preservatives, ZERO flavorings, ZERO additives. They are as close to homemade as you can get. Seriously.

Here's the skinny on exactly how not bad they are for you. All these amazing ingredients are actually helpful in your diet. I am going to point out that our uber-delicious Moroccan Twist is the shining star on this list with a ton of these ingredients packed in each and every bite.

🫚 Cardamom Found in: Moroccan Twist. One of the most powerful spices in the wellness world. It supports digestive health, has natural diuretic properties that help lower blood pressure, contains antioxidants that fight inflammation, and may even help regulate blood sugar levels. It also freshens breath — bonus!

🌿 Cloves Found in: all our sauces (sshhh it's a secret), Moroccan Twist, Jamaican Jerk and BBQ Sweet Heat. Tiny but mighty. Cloves are one of the highest antioxidant-containing spices on the planet. They have strong antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, support liver health, and contain eugenol, a natural compound studied for its ability to help stabilize blood sugar.

🍅 Cooked Tomatoes Found in: all our sauces, of course. Here's a fun one most people don't know — cooking tomatoes actually increases their health benefits. Heat releases lycopene, a powerful antioxidant linked to reduced risk of heart disease and certain cancers. Cooked tomatoes in a sauce mean you're getting more lycopene than you would from a fresh salad. Score one for BBQ sauce!

🍏 Apple Cider Vinegar This is our fave vinegar for our sauces. The wellness world's darling — and for good reason. ACV supports healthy digestion, helps balance blood sugar after meals, may aid in weight management, and has natural probiotic properties that support gut health. It also adds that tangy depth that makes a great sauce pop.

🫙 Gluten-Free Soy Sauce Found in: all of our sauces. Soy sauce and packed with umami, and also contains small amounts of probiotics from fermentation, supports digestion, and provides manganese and other trace minerals. And of course, using a Gluten Free version is safe for gluten-sensitive folks.

Wow, who knew? Well we did, and now you do. 

Get out there and cook some amazing tasting healthy meals. No one will know you're feeding them food that's good for them. They'll just be amazed at how darn good it tastes!

🍂 Cinnamon Found in: Moroccan Twist and Jamaican Jerk. One of the most researched spices for blood sugar regulation — even small amounts have been shown to improve insulin sensitivity. It's also a potent anti-inflammatory, supports brain health, and has antimicrobial properties. The fact that it shows up in savory sauces and rubs makes it a stealth health hero.

🌶️ Black Pepper Found in: most of the spices and of course of Big & Tangy Black Pepper sauce. Don't sleep on black pepper — it's far more than a table seasoning. Black pepper contains piperine, which dramatically increases the bioavailability of other nutrients (like curcumin from turmeric). It supports digestion, has anti-inflammatory properties, and may support brain health. Basically, it makes everything else you eat work better.

🍯 Brown Sugar Found in most of our sauces, and Jamaican Jerk, and BBQ Sweet Heat.Okay, it's still sugar, so it should be enjoyed in moderation — but in the context of a spice rub or sauce, the amounts used are small, and brown sugar does retain a bit of molasses, which contains trace minerals like iron, calcium, and potassium that refined white sugar doesn't. In a balanced diet, it's a far better choice than artificial sweeteners, and it creates that gorgeous caramelized crust on grilled proteins.

🌶️ Cayenne & Habanero Peppers Found in: Sweet & Spicy Cayenne sauce, Sweet Red Devil sauce, BBQ Sweet Heat Spice Rub, Fiery Jamaican Jerk Hot peppers contain capsaicin, which research links to boosted metabolism, reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and even natural pain relief. The hotter the pepper, the more capsaicin — so that Ghost Habanero Pepper Powder is basically a tiny bottle of fire and wellness.

🧄 Garlic Found in: every sauce and spice we make like Latin Heat, Moroccan Twist, Steakhouse/Super Chunk, Fiery Jamaican Jerk Garlic is one of the most well-studied functional foods out there — it supports immune function, cardiovascular health, and has natural antimicrobial properties. Getting it in a spice rub means you're seasoning and supplementing at the same time.

🫚 Cumin & Turmeric-adjacent spices Found in: Moroccan Twist, Latin Heat The warm, earthy spice profiles in the Moroccan Twist and Latin Heat blends typically include cumin and similar anti-inflammatory spices common to those cuisines. Cumin supports digestion and is packed with antioxidants.

🌿 Herbs (oregano, thyme, etc.) Found in: Fiery Jamaican Jerk, Moroccan Twist, Big Tom's Roasting Rub and our Steakhouse seasoning. Dried herbs are surprisingly nutrient-dense and loaded with antioxidants that help fight oxidative stress in the body.
