Barbecue is a cooking method and style popularly associated with American cuisine, though it has roots in various cultures worldwide. Traditionally, it involves slow-cooking meat over indirect heat, often enhanced with wood smoke for a rich, smoky flavor. Common barbecue meats include pork, beef, chicken, and ribs, often seasoned with spice rubs and marinated or basted in tangy, sweet, or spicy sauces. Nutritional aspects vary—leaner cuts of meat like chicken or turkey can be higher in protein while lower in fat, making them a healthier choice. However, barbecue sauces and fatty cuts of pork or beef may be high in sugar and saturated fats, contributing to calorie content. Grilled vegetables or plant-based barbecue options offer a nutrient-packed, lower-fat alternative. While barbecue can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, moderation is key, particularly regarding high-fat meats and sugary sauces.
