Buying Guide

Match seasoning to protein

Choose citrus-forward blends like lemon-pepper for seafood and chicken, buttery or umami mixes for beef, and bold garlic/cumin blends for pork and carne asada

Check salt levels

Many grilling blends contain added salt; look for lower-sodium or no-salt versions if you control seasoning quantity yourself to avoid over-salting

Consider format and size

Multipacks and larger jars (several ounces to 28 oz) offer value for frequent grillers, while smaller jars are better for occasional use to keep spices fresh

Prioritize recognizable ingredients

Blends listing herbs, garlic, citrus peel, and spices like black pepper or cumin allow clearer control over flavor and dietary needs

Use complementary finishing seasonings

Keep a buttery or finishing blend on hand to add after grilling for extra richness, especially on steaks and chops
