Ribs

Ribs refers to racks or pieces of rib meat, commonly from pork or beef, and is popular in many cuisines as barbecued, smoked, or slow-roasted dishes known for their rich flavor and tender texture. It is a notable source of animal protein, providing about 16.5g of protein per 100g, and also supplies B vitamins like B12 and minerals such as zinc. While flavorful and protein-rich, ribs are relatively higher in total and saturated fat compared with lean cuts; they are valued for their amino acid profile and satiety but are best enjoyed in moderation or with trimming and leaner side choices.
