Yes, you read that right — plant-based ribs with edible bones.
Alright, folks, buckle up because we’re about to dive into one of the most innovative food trends to hit the alternative meat world. Now, before you start imagining McRib-style “alternative” meat, let me stop you right there. This isn’t your fast-food, questionable-meat situation. We’re talking about Juicy Marbles, the company behind some of the most shockingly realistic plant-based proteins out there, and trust me, these ribs are unlike anything you’ve tasted.
Juicy Marbles has been on the cutting edge of meat substitutes, and they first made waves back in 2023 when they launched the world’s first plant-based bone-in rib. And now, they’ve upped the game with an updated version — Marble 3.0 — which features a clean-label recipe (we’ll get into that in a second) and is tastier than ever.
What Exactly is a “Clean Label” Anyway?
If you're wondering what “clean label” means, think of it as the cool, no-nonsense friend in your pantry. It’s a term used to describe food products that ditch the artificial stuff, skipping those sketchy-sounding ingredients that leave you squinting at the label in confusion. So no weird additives like Red #40 or multisyllabic compounds that sound more like a science experiment than dinner.
Instead, Juicy Marbles is keeping it simple with the good stuff: water, soy protein concentrate (24%), sunflower oil, natural flavors, pea protein isolate, and less than 2% of goodies like red beet juice concentrate, yeast extract, salt, apple extract, and even vitamin B12. See? Nothing to side-eye in that ingredient list.
Tasty & Sensible? Sign Me Up!
Vladimir Mićković, the co-founder and chief brand officer of Juicy Marbles, put it best when he said, “We’ve gathered feedback from thousands of curious eaters. Since more than half of our customers aren’t vegan, the research showed us a stupidly simple truth about food: we all want our food to be tasty, but we want it to be nutritionally sensible as well.”
Can I get an amen? Whether you’re plant-based or just plant-curious, this is food for people who want flavor without the food guilt. And let’s be real, who doesn’t want that?
Edible Bones: The Rib Revolution You Didn't Know You Needed
Now, let’s get to the juicy (pun intended) part: edible bones. Yes, the bones in these ribs are entirely plant-based and 100% edible. And for those die-hard rib fans who love the feeling of sliding the meat off a bone — I get it, I do — but isn’t it a bit of a buzzkill when you chomp down into something that feels like you’re gnawing on a rock?
Well, Juicy Marbles found a way around that, so you get all the rib vibes without worrying about cracking a tooth on a bone. Instead, these edible bones add a little extra texture to your bite, and guess what? Your dog can even enjoy them too! No more jealous stares from the pooch while you feast away.
How to Cook These Ribs Like a Pro
If you want to experience the magic of these plant-based ribs, frying them in oil is the way to go. Want a little more culinary flair? I took a deep dive into Reddit (because where else would you get the real dirt?), and it turns out the people are loving these ribs cooked over charcoal. That extra smoky flavor? Chef’s kiss.
The Catch? They’re Sold Out… For Now
If this all sounds too good to be true, here’s the kicker: Juicy Marbles’ baby ribs are currently sold out on their website. But don’t worry — you can sign up for email notifications to snag a pack when they restock. Judging by how fast they’re flying off the shelves, it’s clear the world is craving more of these innovative ribs.
So, whether you’re a meat lover looking to try something new or a plant-based foodie on the hunt for the next big thing, Juicy Marbles’ plant-based ribs with edible bones are worth keeping an eye on. They’re proving once again that alternative meat doesn’t have to be bland, boring, or filled with mysterious ingredients. Instead, it can be a finger-licking, *bone-chewing* good time.
