About Costilla de puerco
Costilla de Puerco, or pork ribs, is a flavorful dish rooted in Latin American and Spanish cuisine, often celebrated for its tender meat and robust seasonings. These ribs are typically prepared with marinades or spice rubs featuring ingredients like garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, and citrus juice, highlighting the vibrant flavors of the region. While rich in protein and essential nutrients like iron and zinc, the dish's healthiness depends largely on preparation. Grilled or baked options can be lower in fat compared to fried or heavily sauced versions. However, pork ribs are inherently high in saturated fat, which should be consumed in moderation for heart health. Pairing the dish with nutrient-rich sides like vegetables or beans can balance its nutritional profile. Costilla de Puerco exemplifies indulgence and tradition, making it a beloved comfort food around the world.
