Honey Cajun Rub
Honey Cajun Rub is a bold, sweet-spicy seasoning blend often used in Southern and Cajun-style cooking to flavor meats, vegetables and seafood. It’s known for combining smoky paprika, chili, garlic and a touch of sweetness for a caramelized crust. Nutritionally it’s an energy-dense seasoning: it contains 50g of sugar per 100g, and is typically used in small amounts rather than as a staple ingredient. While it can contribute flavor and some fiber and minerals when made with whole spices, consider that commercial mixes often add sugar and salt; this one also provides modest amounts of antioxidant carotenoids from red peppers and paprika, which can have protective effects when included as part of a varied diet.
