Costelinha de Porco, or pork ribs, is a popular dish in Brazilian cuisine. Often marinated with a blend of garlic, lime, paprika, parsley, and other seasonings, the ribs are then grilled, roasted, or stewed until tender and flavorful. This dish's rich, smoky taste makes it a favorite at churrascos (Brazilian barbeques) and family gatherings. Pork ribs are a good source of protein and essential vitamins like B12, which supports energy metabolism and brain function. However, as a fatty cut of meat, they are high in saturated fat and calories, which may not be ideal for those managing heart health or calorie intake. To balance the meal, pair Costelinha de Porco with nutrient-rich sides like fresh salads, roasted vegetables, or whole grains. Moderation and mindful preparation can allow you to enjoy this iconic dish while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
