BBQ ribs are the centerpiece of any serious American cookout. These slow-cooked beauties deliver 250 kcal per 100g with an impressive 20g of protein, plus zinc (5mg) and vitamin B12 (2.5mcg) that support your immune system and nervous function. The 18g of fat comes from the marbled pork, which bastes the meat from within during hours of low-and-slow smoking. The sticky glaze adds about 3g of carbs per serving. Whether you're team Kansas City (thick, sweet sauce) or Memphis (dry rub), the key is patience — real ribs need 4-6 hours over indirect heat. Serve with cornbread and coleslaw for the quintessential barbecue plate.
