Yes, corn ribs—you read that right. So, what are they and are they actually good? We’ve been seeing corn ribs all over the vegan foodie world lately, and it got us wondering…do they actually live up to the hype? Let’s break it down.
What are Corn Ribs?
Corn ribs are an alternative to plain-old corn on the cob that tastes a bit more like Mexican street corn with a fun twist. The cobs are cut down the middle into quarters, so that it looks like the shape of a rib, with the cob acting as the bone. If you follow a vegan or vegetarian diet, you may be looking for a delicious alternative to ribs at your next barbecue. Corn ribs are a great option because you still get the fun of eating something off of a bone-like stick (in this case, it’s the cob), plus you can flavor them however you like.
Different Flavor, but Delicious!
The votes are in and they indicate that there is validity to the hype! We fully support the corn rib trend because they are fun and delicious. Although if you’re really looking for that true “BBQ rib” flavor, you might want to look elsewhere. As fun and tasty as these are, they don’t taste like meat at all because it’s, well, corn. So if you like corn, definitely try these out, but if you’re looking for something a bit meatier, you might want to give something else a try.
