What Are Baby Back Ribs?
Baby back ribs (also called pork back ribs) come from high on the back of the hog, where the loin muscle meets the backbone. This lean cut of pork is extremely tender and flavorful. Baby back ribs can be smoked, grilled, or baked. They’re usually seasoned and often served with a sweet and savory barbecue sauce.
Baby Back vs. Spare Ribs
Spare ribs are cut from the bottom portion of the rib cage, while baby backs are cut from the top portion of the rib cage.
Baby back ribs are leaner and cook faster than spare ribs, their heavier counterpart. Some people say spare ribs have richer flavor because they’re more marbled, but baby backs are more popular because they have more meat and are more tender.
