Back ribs, also known as baby back ribs, are a popular cut of pork that comes from the upper part of the pig's ribcage, near the spine. They are shorter and more curved than other rib cuts, making them tender and flavorful. Typically, back ribs are meatier than spare ribs and are often favored for grilling or barbecuing. These ribs are usually sold in racks and can be prepared in various ways, including smoking, baking, or grilling. They are often seasoned with dry rubs or slathered in barbecue sauce before cooking, enhancing their rich taste. Back ribs are a favorite at cookouts and family gatherings.
