Ribs

Iowa Quality Meats supplies a premium line of back ribs for smoking, grilling, or baking. Iowa Quality Meats back ribs are renowned for their tenderness and consistency.

Baby Back Ribs - from the finest, young, corn fed hogs, Iowa Quality Meats baby back ribs are gently taken from each loin and the chewy inner membrane is removed from the inside of each rib. The ribs are then sized into the appropriate weight range. Only full slabs are packed into these weight ranges: 1.25 lbs. and down, 1.5 lbs. and down, 1.75 lbs. and down and 2.0 lbs. and down. Since these are from young hogs, the ribs are tender and succulent and the meat falls right off the bone. Also available with our "No Regrets®" marination.

Back Ribs - larger back ribs from larger hogs are also available. These back ribs offer a higher meat-to- bone ratio versus spare ribs and at a more economical price than baby back ribs. Sized at 2.25 lbs. and down or 2.25 lbs. and up. These ribs are affordable, meaty and delicious. Iowa Quality Meats supplies the majority of these ribs with our "No Regrets®" marination. This allows the ribs to be cooked and held for longer periods, eliminating the need to boil the ribs and thereby saving labor costs.
