The rub that started it all. The Original Wojapi Meat Rub™ layers hickory-smoked salt, smoked paprika, chipotle, toasted onion, mustard, and coriander with our signature five-berry powder: blackberry, blueberry, lingonberry, black currant, and aronia. Black garlic and dehydrated lemon peel round it out. The result is a deep, sweet-savory profile rooted in Oglala Lakota tradition — the natural berry sugars caramelize during the cook to build a dark, lacquered bark you can't get from a salt-and-pepper rub.

Best on red meat and pork — brisket, ribeye, ribs, pork chops, smash burgers. Works on the grill, smoker, or in the oven. Gluten-free. No preservatives. Native-owned.

Ingredients: Hickory Smoked Salt, Spices (including Smoked Paprika, Chipotle, Toasted Onion, Mustard, Coriander), Natural Berry Powders (Blackberry, Blueberry, Ligonberry, Black Currant, Aronia), Black Garlic, Dehydrated Lemon Peel, Ground Rice Hull (Anti-Caking Agent).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Wojapi Meat Rub™?

Wojapi Meat Rub™ is rooted in the traditional berry sauce of the Lakota Plains. We blended berry powders, smoked spices, and bold flavor into a one-of-a-kind seasoning crafted to elevate grilled meats, vegetables, and more. It's heritage in a jar—made for today's kitchen.

Is this the same as traditional wojapi?

Not quite. Traditional wojapi is a thick berry sauce. Our rub is a dry spice blend that uses berry powders and smoked notes to evoke that flavor in a completely new way.

Can I use it on more than just meat?

Absolutely. Try it on grilled veggies, sprinkled over popcorn, mixed into marinades, or even on roasted nuts. It's made to inspire creativity.

Is it spicy?

The Original has a bold, smoky berry flavor with a hint of warmth — not hot. If you want more heat, check out our Spicy Blend featuring ghost pepper and cayenne, or bright citrus notes in our Citrus Blend.

Is it Native-owned?

Yes. Red Wing Spices is proudly Native-owned by Melody Red Wing and Wayne Richardson. Every jar is a celebration of cultural roots and modern kitchen craft.
