According to my research on the internet, it is believed that barbecue sauce was first invented in a Dominican missionary, where cooks used lime juice and pepper to flavor meat for the barbecue. The recipe can be traced back to Africa, where both lime and lemon juices were traditionally used to flavor meat. It is really fascinating where food came from ᥫ᭡.

I've read that Native American tribes utilized a blend of fruit, spices, and herbs to flavor their meats before cooking them over open flames, which is likely how the first variations of BBQ sauce were created. BBQ sauce developed into the acidic, sweet, and smokey condiment we know and love today as a result of the culinary traditions introduced to the area by African slaves and European settlers over time.
