A **rub** in culinary contexts refers to a dry mixture of herbs, spices, salts, sugars, and other seasonings applied to the surface of meat, fish, or vegetables before cooking. Unlike marinades, which are liquid-based, rubs form a flavorful crust that enhances texture and depth of taste through caramelization and the Maillard reaction. Their composition varies widely, ranging from simple salt-and-pepper blends to complex regional formulations.
