Barbecue ribs are a savory, slow-cooked dish rooted in American barbecue traditions, particularly popular in the Southern United States. They typically feature pork or beef ribs coated in a flavorful dry rub, then slow-smoked or grilled to tender perfection. Often basted in a tangy, sweet, or spicy barbecue sauce, their rich flavor comes from a blend of seasonings like paprika, garlic, brown sugar, and spices. While ribs are high in protein, they can also be high in saturated fats and sodium, especially when seasoned with heavy sauces. Pairing them with lighter sides like grilled vegetables or a fresh salad can help balance the meal. For a healthier twist, consider leaner cuts, reduced-sugar sauces, or trimming visible fat before cooking. With their distinctive smoky flavor and satisfying texture, barbecue ribs remain a beloved comfort food staple.
