Pork butt ribs, often called Boston butt or pork shoulder, are tender cuts of meat popular in American barbecue cuisine and many global preparations like Cuban and Filipino dishes. Despite the name, they come from the upper shoulder of the pig, not the rear. Known for their rich flavor and marbling, these ribs are ideal for slow cooking, smoking, or braising. Nutritionally, pork butt ribs are high in protein, essential for muscle repair, and contain vital nutrients like B vitamins and zinc. However, they can also be high in fat, particularly saturated fat, depending on preparation. Their calorie content increases significantly when paired with sugary marinades or heavy sauces. While delicious and satisfying, moderation and balanced preparation methods, such as trimming excess fat or opting for leaner portions, can make pork butt ribs a healthier choice in your diet.
