Brown Sugar and BBQ

Since we Americans tend to have a sweet tooth, what better way to celebrate the changing of seasons than with a sweet brown sugar barbeque rub on ribs! Brown sugar is no ordinary ingredient–it has unique properties setting it apart from other kinds of sweeteners.

Food manufacturers make brown sugar by extracting sugar juice from sugar beet or sugar cane plants and then cleaning, crystallizing, and drying the raw sugar. The manufacturing process separates the sugar crystals from the molasses portion, which is the thick, dark brown syrup occurring naturally in the sugar beet or cane plant. Molasses gives brown sugar its rich, caramel color and higher moisture content ideal for use in baked goods, sauces, marinades, beverages, and toppings for other foods like yogurt, cereals, and maple-flavored bacon.

Recognizing the importance of having a little sweetness in our lives, A.C. Legg, Inc., offers a Brown Sugar Sweet Barbeque Seasoning and Rub, Blend 136, to complement chicken and pork products. This rub will remind you of a St. Louis, Memphis, and Southern Barbecue all in one package. Sweet with a nice balance of onion, tomato, and smoke. Our employees work hard and take pride in making these seasoning blends so that other families and friends can enjoy trying our high-quality flavors all year long! Visit our website to find this blend and many more!
