About Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs are small, dry pieces of crushed or ground bread often used in cooking to add texture, bind ingredients, or create a crispy coating. Traditionally made from stale bread, they are a staple in many cuisines, including Italian, where they are a key ingredient in dishes like meatballs or eggplant Parmesan. Breadcrumbs can be plain or seasoned with herbs and spices for added flavor. Nutritionally, they are primarily composed of carbohydrates and contain small amounts of fiber, protein, and vitamins depending on the type of bread used. Whole-grain breadcrumbs offer slightly more nutrients than those made from refined white bread. While they are versatile and enhance dishes, breadcrumbs can be high in sodium and may add extra calories, especially when fried or mixed with fats. Opting for whole-grain, low-sodium varieties can make them a healthier choice.
