Gut Friendly Herb & Ginger St. Louis Ribs

Slow-roasted pork ribs hit different when the spice rub is built around ingredients that actually do something good for your body. Ground ginger and turmeric bring their well-known anti-inflammatory properties to every bite, while Ceylon cinnamon — the gentler, lower-coumarin variety — adds warmth without the harshness of the more common cassia kind. Coconut oil and coconut aminos keep the whole recipe free from the refined oils and soy that can aggravate a sensitive gut, so you're not trading flavor for function. The low-and-slow oven method does the heavy lifting, breaking down the connective tissue until the meat is genuinely fall-off-the-bone tender without any need for a sugary, additive-laden bottled sauce. The glaze is built from 100% pomegranate juice, apple cider vinegar, and honey — real, recognizable ingredients that reduce into something sticky, tangy, and deeply caramelized at the edges. A finishing scatter of fresh parsley keeps things bright and adds a little extra digestive support right at the end. This is the kind of crowd-pleasing centerpiece that nobody at the table will ever guess was built with a gut-conscious kitchen in mind.
