Hickory Molasses Rub

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Hickory Molasses Rub scores 62/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Hickory Molasses Rub lists 11 ingredients, starting with Spices, Dehydrated Onion, Salt, Dehydrated Garlic and Molasses. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 62/100 Hickory Molasses Rub lands mid-scale — below the typical score in spices & seasonings, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in spices & seasonings is Saltix Baja Mineral Sea Salt Fine Grind at 100/100.
