Dry rub ribs are a savory barbecue dish, originating from Southern American cuisine, particularly popular in regions like Memphis. Instead of relying on sauce, these ribs are coated in a blend of spices such as paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and sometimes brown sugar, creating a flavorful crust when slow-cooked or smoked. The dry rub method highlights the natural taste of the pork while delivering a balance of smoky, spicy, and slightly sweet flavors. Nutritionally, the ribs are protein-rich, which supports muscle health, but they can also be high in saturated fat, depending on the cut. The spice blend itself is typically low in calories and sugar compared to sauced alternatives. To make them a healthier option, pair with nutrient-dense sides like grilled vegetables or a fresh salad, and focus on portion control to enjoy this iconic dish as part of a balanced meal.
