About Costela de porco
Costela de Porco, or pork ribs, is a traditional dish often associated with Brazilian and Portuguese cuisine. Typically seasoned with garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika, the ribs are slow-cooked or grilled to achieve tender, flavorful meat with a smoky or caramelized crust. Variations may include marinades with citrus, vinegar, or herbs for added depth. While pork ribs offer a rich source of protein, they are also higher in fat, particularly saturated fat, which should be consumed in moderation. Nutritionally, they provide essential nutrients like zinc, iron, and B vitamins, which support energy metabolism and immune health. Health-conscious preparations may involve trimming excess fat or opting for baking instead of frying. Pairing Costela de Porco with nutrient-dense side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or whole grains, can help balance the meal and reduce calorie density while preserving its iconic, savory taste.
