Jamaican Jerk Seasoning — MUNCH

Munch or Dump rates Jamaican Jerk Seasoning by Blue Mountain MUNCH — score 88/90.

Nine ingredients, and you could grow eight of them in a Jamaican backyard. Scallion, hot peppers, allspice, garlic, thyme — this is an actual jerk recipe in a jar, not a flavor simulation. The 'all natural' claim on the label is that rarest of things: true.
