Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs

Overview

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, spareribs are sweet, salty, and neutral in nature, and enter the spleen, stomach, and kidney meridians; they have the effects of nourishing yin and strengthening yang, replenishing essence and blood. In addition to protein, fat, and vitamins, pork ribs also contain a large amount of calcium phosphate, collagen, bone mucin, etc. Calcium and magnesium are easily decomposed under acidic conditions. Acetic acid can decompose the calcium and magnesium in the pork ribs to produce calcium acetate, which can be better absorbed and utilized by the body. Therefore, sweet and sour pork ribs can increase the nutrient absorption rate of boiled pork ribs and provide calcium for young children and the elderly. (Baidu)
