How it started

It started with a diagnosis

When John faced the reality of type two diabetes, it wasn't just our diet that had to change; it was our entire approach to flavor. Refusing to compromise on taste, we set out to make seasonings that anyone, especially those on diabetic, low sodium and keto diets, could enjoy without worry.

Our mission is simple: to bring you the bold flavors you love, crafted with your health in mind. No sugar, low sodium, and absolutely nothing artificial.

Home base

Right in the heart of Saline County

Lizzy B's is based in Alexander, Arkansas. It's where we started mixing our first batches of spices in our kitchen and sharing them with neighbors, friends and family.

We take pride in bringing our homemade blends from our family to yours. Find us at the Benton Farmers Market and at Meatstock.

Grandpa Dave

Grandpa Dave's Special Seasoning is a tribute to the recipes passed down through generations. His portrait is on every bottle of our Original BBQ Rub, along with his advice: great on critters, swimmers and all veggies, and don't forget Dawangs.
