Slag Dust is a bold, all-purpose seasoning inspired by the South Side of Chicago—specifically Slag Valley, a neighborhood shaped by steel mills, rail yards, and generations of industrial work.
The name comes from iron ore byproduct, known as slag, that once left dark residue across the area. Instead of ignoring that history, Slag Dust reclaims it—turning a symbol of industry and resilience into something purposeful and flavorful.
The seasoning’s dark appearance comes from activated charcoal, while its flavor is built for real cooking: garlic, mushroom powder, applewood smoke, salt and a little sweetness...blended for depth, balance, and versatility. It’s designed to enhance everything from meats and vegetables to potatoes, eggs, and grilled favorites.
Slag Dust isn’t about novelty or shock value.
It’s about honoring where you come from, cooking with intention, and finding pride in grit.
From Slag Valley to your kitchen—this is seasoning with a story.
