Pork Ribs refers to cuts of pork taken from the rib section, commonly enjoyed as baby back or spare ribs in barbecue and slow-cooked cuisines worldwide. They are known for their rich flavor and tender texture when cooked low and slow or grilled with sauces.
As a protein-forward choice, Pork Ribs provides about 16.2g of protein per 100g, along with B vitamins (notably thiamine) and selenium. Because ribs include connective tissue and fat, they are relatively higher in total and saturated fat and contain very little fiber.
Nutritionally, ribs deliver high-quality amino acids and minerals that support muscle and metabolic function, but their nutritional profile can be strongly affected by cooking method and added sauces—leaner cuts or trimming visible fat reduces saturated fat and calories.
