How to Choose Good Pork Ribs
For Bone-in Ribs
- You should not buy ribs that are too small. Small ribs usually come from small pigs, so the meat will be of lower quality because they are slaughtered too early.
- When pressed, the pork should have good elasticity, and the surface should be dry and smooth.
- Additionally, you should choose ribs that are bright red, not too pale and not too dark. Especially, the ribs should not have a foul smell or be leaking fluid.
For Cartilage Ribs
- You should also choose pieces of ribs that are bright red, not too dark or too light.
- Avoid choosing parts of meat with too much cartilage, as it will make the dish tough.
- The cartilage should be off-white and free of strange smells or leaking fluid.
