About Baby back ribs

Baby back ribs are a popular cut of pork taken from the upper portion of the rib cage near the backbone. Known for their tender texture and rich flavor, they are often seasoned with a dry rub or marinated before being grilled, smoked, or baked. A staple in American barbecue cuisine, they can be traced back to traditional Southern cooking, where slow-cooking methods bring out their best qualities. While baby back ribs are a good source of protein, they are typically high in fat, particularly saturated fat, and their calorie count can increase significantly depending on preparation methods and sauces. Common accompaniments like sugary barbecue sauces can add excess sodium and sugar. For a healthier approach, enjoy them with leaner cuts, moderate seasoning, and lighter sauces, complementing them with nutrient-dense sides like steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to balance the meal.
