Baby Back Ribs

About this Cut

Baby Back Ribs, derived from the top of the rib cage between the spine and the spare ribs, are known for their lean meat and delicate flavor. These ribs are smaller and more tender than other types, making them a favorite for grilling and barbecuing. Their natural tenderness ensures a quick cooking time, and their slight fat content helps keep the meat moist, infusing it with flavors during cooking. Perfect for smoking, slow-cooking, or slathering with barbecue sauce for a classic finish, Baby Back Ribs offer a succulent, flavorful eating experience. Their manageable size and the pleasing texture make them an excellent choice for both casual family dinners and upscale barbecue feasts.

Cooking Method: Best cooked low and slow. Apply a rub, bake or smoke at 250°F (121°C) for 3-4 hours until tender.

Recommended Temperature: 190-200°F (88-93°C) for fall-off-the-bone tenderness.

Antibiotic and Hormone-Free Pork

These pigs are raised free of any hormones or antibiotics. This practice ensures that the meat is as natural as possible, reducing consumer exposure to these substances. The absence of antibiotics in the raising of these animals helps prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, a significant benefit for public health. Additionally, hormone-free meat often has better taste and quality. By choosing antibiotic and hormone-free meat, consumers support more natural animal husbandry practices and contribute to a healthier environment, while also enjoying safer and more flavorful meat.
