BBQ Ribs
Moderate nutritional value
Slow-cooked ribs with barbecue sauce.
BBQ ribs are pork spare ribs or baby back ribs rubbed with spices, cooked slowly by smoking, baking or grilling until tender, then glazed with a sweet barbecue sauce. They are high in protein and fat, and the sauce adds sugar and sodium. A 300 g serving has about 750 kcal, so pair a smaller portion with a green salad or grilled vegetables rather than fries and cornbread.
