PORK RIBS
Ribs are a cut of pork (or beef, etc.) from the loin or side. Pork ribs come in three basic cuts—back ribs, spareribs and country-style ribs—depending on the section of the hog where originated.
Back Ribs - A cut of pork from the blade and center section of the loin. Also called baby back ribs because they are smaller than spareribs.
Country-Style Ribs - A cut of pork from the rib end of the loin. Country-style ribs are sold as either “slabs” (one piece) or in individual pieces. They are the meatiest variety of ribs.
Spareribs - A cut of pork from the belly of the hog. This variety has the least amount of meat per bone, yet a favorite because of their delicious taste. Plan one pound per serving. theotherwhitemeat.com
