Bob Rust bought a scooter back in the late ’40s and sold hot dogs in Shelby, NC. Fast forward 75 years and his grandson brought it back to life to sell burritos. He named the company Robert Rust Foods to honor the legacy of his grandpa, who lived to serve others. He sells ready to eat burritos at farmers markets, bars, and breweries, but the company has grown to so much more than that.

Jabin is inspired by the ancient Persian beverage Sekanjabin, bringing an age-old recipe to life. The founder, Ershadi Homayoon, would drink his mother’s version of Sekanjabin after training for his professional cycling.

Each bottle contains the hydrating power of pink Himalayan salt, the metabolic benefits of apple cider vinegar, and the natural sweetness of raw cane sugar.
