Panko Breadcrumbs

Panko Breadcrumbs are light, flaky Japanese-style breadcrumbs commonly used as a crispy coating for fried or baked foods and in casseroles and toppings. They are prized for their airy texture that creates a crisp crust without becoming dense. Nutritionally, Panko Breadcrumbs are primarily a refined carbohydrate source and provide modest protein and fiber — about 5g of fiber per 100g — along with small amounts of minerals such as selenium and manganese. They are relatively low in fat and saturated fat compared with many frying batters. Because panko is made from crustless, highly processed bread it is not particularly nutrient-dense and contains few of the antioxidant-rich plant compounds found in whole grains and vegetables; swapping to whole-grain breadcrumb alternatives will boost fiber and micronutrient content while keeping similar cooking performance.
