St. Louis ribs are a cut of pork ribs with the sternum bone, cartilage, and rib tips removed, resulting in a uniform rectangular shape popular in barbecue cuisine. Originating from the U.S., specifically St. Louis, Missouri, these ribs are often dry-rubbed with spices and smoked or grilled, giving them a distinct savory flavor. They may also be coated in barbecue sauce for added sweetness and tang. While rich in protein, St. Louis ribs are high in fat and calories, particularly if cooked with heavy sauces or oils. Their moderate zinc and B-vitamin content can support immune and metabolic health, but excessive consumption may contribute to saturated fat intake. Pairing them with nutrient-rich sides like grilled vegetables can balance the meal nutritionally. As a quintessential American barbecue dish, St. Louis ribs are a delightful treat but are best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
