Local Flavor: Mama Mara Meat Rubs

We have very close ties with this local meat rub company [in Lincoln, Nebraska] and even closer relations to Mama herself! Mama is actually the 'real' mama of creator and owner of Groovy Guru Granola, and has played a very important role in our granola business. She has been there since day one [in more ways than one] and has many times volunteered her time and talents to help make Groovy Guru Granola what it is today. We insisted she be the first to be featured on Guru News online.

Mama would never put her name on anything less than the best! Her seven different meat rub flavors range from the taste of the Caribbean to the now famous for it's flavor [not just the name] Piggy Butt Rub. Each bottle is an exciting mix of flavors and Mama will be the first to tell you, 'pure tasty goodness without any additives, preservatives or sticky MSG.'

Your mama might have told you "don't play with your food," but with Mama Mara you are encouraged to play as much as your imagination allows. From dips to oven fries, Mama wants you to think outside the bottle and experiment.

Traditional meat rubs were only advised to do just that! 'Rub your meat' as Mama puts it. But with Mama Mara she wants you to try new things. In fact she has created a website full of all sorts of great ideas for those of you who maybe need a little help in the creative department.

Mama Mara Meat Rubs can be found at both Ideal Grocery and Leon's Food Mart in Lincoln, Nebraska. Or you can meet Mama herself at the Haymarket Farmer's Market on Saturdays from 8-12noon or at Havelock Farmer's Market on Wednesdays from 3-6:30pm.


Other than the great pleasure of meeting [sometimes feisty] Mama at one of the two farmer's markets she personally attends is to get in on the deal she is having throughout the season. It's a great deal! Simply buy 5 meat rubs and get 1 free!

Sure Mama Mara might be known as the "rub lady" to most, but she also has been a nurse for over 35 years, has raised 2 children single handedly and is a novelist of a pre-teen series based in Lincoln, Nebraska hosting a comedy of characters and our very own book worm Jim McKey.

We urge you to spice your life up with a little bit of Mama! There's always a whole lot of love when Mama Mara is over for dinner!
