About Bread croutons

Bread croutons are bite-sized pieces of seasoned, toasted bread commonly used as a topping for salads, soups, or stews. Traditionally made from leftover or day-old bread, croutons come from French culinary origins, with the term “crouton” meaning “little crust” in French. Typically, they are prepared by cutting the bread into cubes and baking or frying them with oil or butter, often seasoned with herbs, spices, and salt for added flavor. While croutons can add texture and taste to dishes, they are often calorie-dense due to the use of oils and fats in their preparation. They are typically high in carbohydrates and may contain sodium depending on the seasoning used. For a healthier option, whole-grain or minimally processed bread can be substituted, and baking with minimal oil can reduce fat content. Croutons offer convenient versatility but should be enjoyed in moderation within a balanced diet.
