One rib is a flavorful cut of meat typically sourced from pork or beef, often associated with barbecue cuisine and Southern-style cooking. It is comprised of tender meat surrounding a portion of bone, rendered juicy and rich when cooked low and slow, whether grilled, smoked, or baked. Ribs are often marinated or coated in savory or sweet barbecue sauces, adding depth to their taste but also increasing sugar and sodium content. Nutritionally, one rib provides protein, important for muscle repair and growth, along with essential vitamins like Vitamin B12 and minerals like zinc and iron. However, ribs can also be high in saturated fat and calories, particularly if heavily sauced or consumed in larger portions. For a healthier option, consider trimming excess fat, opting for leaner cuts, or minimizing added sugars in marinades and sauces.
