RawSpiceBar's Coffee Rub Enhances Veggies, Meat and More

This unique coffee rub from RawSpiceBar offers an alternative way to season a variety of cooked dishes.

The 'Dark Coffee & Chiles' spice rub is made with an unusual mix of ingredients, including unsweetened cocoa powder, dark roasted coffee, ancho chiles, smoked paprika, cumin and cinnamon. This mix of flavors creates a perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors to enhance everything from meats and vegetables. On its site, RawSpiceBar specifically calls out a recipe for 'Grilled Coffee Chili Rubbed Vegetables,' which involves a variety of potatoes, peppers, carrots and onions. Additionally, RawSpiceBar suggests marinating beets, steak, short ribs and pork tenderloin with this spice rub.

RawSpiceBar sets itself apart by selling spices in pre-portioned packages. Each of its flavor kits include two tablespoons, which is perfect for seasoning a single meal.
