Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumb is made from dried or finely ground bread used for coating, binding and topping in many cuisines — from Italian meatballs and gratins to breaded cutlets and stuffing. It is primarily a carbohydrate ingredient, providing 72.5g per 100g, with modest protein and little fat. Breadcrumbs can supply small amounts of minerals such as selenium and manganese, but commercial dry varieties are often highly processed and offer few protective plant compounds; using whole-grain or homemade versions improves fiber and micronutrient content.
