Baby back ribs are taken from the top of the rib cage between the spine and the spare ribs, below the loin muscle.
Spare ribs are separated from the pork belly and consist of the lower portion of the rib cage. They are characterized by their longer and flatter shape compared to baby back ribs, with more fat and connective tissue, which makes them flavorful but requires longer cooking for tenderness. The separation involves cutting along the rib bones to detach them from the sternum and backbone.

NO, they are NOT from baby pigs! They are a cut of smaller ribs from the back of the rack, thus called baby back. The word "baby" refers to the size, the word "back" refers to location of the cut. It's a shorter way of saying "small ribs from the back of the rack". So have no fear. You can eat baby back ribs without worrying about them being from young pigs. Enjoy!
