Baby ribs are also called loin ribs, baby back ribs, or riblets. They get their name from their size, being smaller than spare ribs. The name "baby" doesn't refer to the age of the pig, but rather the size of the ribs compared to other cuts.
While commonly known as baby back ribs, they can also be called:
- Pork loin back ribs
- Back ribs
- Loin ribs
- Canadian back ribs
