Rib Racks
Often praised at the expense of other sections (neck, shank, shoulder) this less worked area can be a better choice for those days or nights where something quick is required — a quick pan seared rib chop is just the thing. Even roasting an entire rack will take considerably less time.
— HOW TO COOK
Whether you reverse sear (start off in the oven and finish on the stovetop) or opt for a more traditional stovetop to oven method, you don’t want to take these tender and flavorful cuts much past medium rare.
BEST FOR
When we say nutrient-dense, we mean it:
Protein - 21g (43% DV)
Protein is important for cellular growth and it provides our tissues with protective strength. It sparks our metabolism and energy production, helps regulate our body chemistry, and maintains our body’s PH.
Niacin (B3) - 41%
Niacin (B3 or nicotinic acid) is the most stable B vitamin and, as a part of two coenzymes, it is involved in more than 50 metabolic functions in the body. Niacin helps maintain cholesterol levels, provides energy to cells, stimulates circulation, and supports a healthy nervous system. Increased Niacin is needed for athletes, during pregnancy/lactation, and during periods of growth.
Vitamin B12 - 24%
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is the only vitamin to contain the essential mineral cobalt.
B12 is well known for its energy and cognitive functions, but is also needed in the formation of red blood cells, DNA, and synthesis of the myelin sheath that insulates your neurons. It plays a critical role in the growth and appetite of children.
Choline - 11%
Choline is an important new member of the B vitamins and was deemed the “memory vitamin”. It is nestled into the fat layers of the membranes of every cell in the body and is the only vitamin that crosses the blood/brain barrier to be involved in brain chemical metabolism. Choline also serves in fat utilization in the body and detoxification.
Selenium - 185%
Selenium is an incredibly important trace mineral with numerous health benefits. It functions as a component of glutathione peroxidase, an enzyme responsible for the antioxidant properties of glutathione. Selenium supports cardiovascular health, heavy metal toxin protection, thyroid function, cognitive health, as well as growth, development, and fertility.
Chromium - 83%
Chromium is an essential part of the glucose tolerance factor (GTF) and is vital in regulating carbohydrate metabolism. It can enhance insulin function and support the proper use of glucose in the body as well as aid in energy production.
Zinc - 14%
Zinc is an essential mineral well known to support the immune system and metabolic function. Luckily for you, it is best absorbed in animal meats where it is free from binding phytates. It also has an important role in transporting vitamin A into the blood, thus contributing to healthy skin. Your body also uses Zinc to make proteins and DNA, as well as heal wounds and develop your reproductive system.
Heme Iron - 11%
Heme Iron is the most bio-available form of iron and is extremely hard to source at significant levels, even in red muscle meats.
Proper iron intake can support overall strength, vibrancy, and immune function as well as improve fatigue and stamina. The lack of iron means we produce less hemoglobin and therefore supply less oxygen to our tissues.
* Daily Value per 3.5 oz serving and a 2000 calorie diet.
