Kinder's
Kinder’s is the sauce & seasoning brand that doesn’t just whisper flavour. It slathers, shakes, and smokes it. Born in 1946 as a small butcher shop in San Pablo, California, Kinder’s carries forward decades of taste with its line of BBQ sauces, wing sauces, seasonings & rubs, and marinades. Think bold (Hot BBQ), sweet (Original BBQ), tangy, or smoky. And always free from high fructose corn syrup. Enjoy unapologetic flavour that roots from tradition.
Once upon a grill, there was John Kinder, a Navy vet turned master butcher, in 1946. He founded Kinder’s in a small storefront in San Pablo with a simple belief: flavour should be honest, craftsmanship should matter, and every meal deserves a great sauce. Fast forward almost 80 years, and those founding fires still burn strong. Kinder’s has built a family of sauces, rubs, and mixes that deliver bolding flavour without cutting corners.
Kinder’s products are flavour-forward and rooted in heritage. Their BBQ sauces come in variations like Original (mild & sweet), Hot (spicy kick), and Gold Label. Every jar is crafted for brushing, dipping, basting, or drizzling. The seasonings & rubs line (think Rub the BBQ Blend, Brown Sugar Rub, Brazilian Steak seasoning) turns any protein, or veggie, into show-stopping fare. They also offer wing sauces, dips, marinades… the flavour squad is large, the ingredients list kept clean where it counts.
Health-minded features? Kinder’s checks some thoughtful boxes. Many sauces are gluten-free, and no high fructose corn syrup stains their labels. They use quality tomato bases, real spices, sugar or brown sugar (but nothing wildly unnatural), and they avoid additives when possible. If you want smoky, sweet, and spicy without the weird stuff, Kinder’s steps up.
So next time you reach for flavour, reach for the legacy.
