About Crouton

Croutons are small, crispy cubes of bread, often seasoned and toasted or fried, commonly used to add texture and flavor to salads, soups, and other dishes. Originating from French cuisine, the term "crouton" is derived from the word "croûte," meaning crust. Typically made from white or whole-grain bread, they may include added seasonings like garlic, herbs, or cheese for enhanced flavor. While croutons are a source of carbohydrates, they are often low in essential nutrients due to processing, especially if made from refined white bread. They can be high in sodium or fats, depending on how they are prepared, particularly if fried or heavily seasoned. Choosing whole-grain varieties or making them at home with minimal oil can make croutons a healthier option. Moderation is key, as these crunchy toppings can quickly add calories to a dish without substantial nutritional benefits.
